Make Your Hardcover Book more Refined

Selecting Three Piece greyboard

Three piece boards, as the name suggests, were originally composed of three separate pieces. However, these pieces can be joined to create a single, uninterrupted board concealed beneath the book's dust jacket.

Foil Stamping A Hardcover Book

Another excellent option for enhancing the appeal of your hardcover book is choosing for foil stamping.

By referring to the index, readers can easily navigate the content and find relevant information without having to search through the entire book. This makes the book more user-friendly and enhances its value as a reference tool.
