A coffee table book is a term used to define a book that is printed on high quality paper stock for the display purpose of colour pictures. This book is case bound meaning it has a hard cover. When choosing this type of cover the set up for the cover design is quite different and more detailed than as in a paperback version book. A real show piece, show stopper well worth the effort although the book printing price can add up to be double that of a paperback book.
Where to start
Your design and printing budget will play a large part in the final product.
A hardcover, hardback or hardbound coffee table book is a book bound with rigid protective covers typically of cardboard covered with cloth, heavy paper, or sometimes leather.
They may have flexible sewn spines which allow the book to lie flat on a surface when opened, although most modern commercial hardcover books have glued spines.
Hard cover books come in a variety of sizes, bindings and cover stocks.
The hard covers come in several thickness and there are several kinds of binding as well.
Unless you have a specific type of binding in mind the printer will look at your quote request and suggest the binding most suitable for your book.
