Design Inspiration & Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////

Have you ever really looked at the types of bindings you find on a library or book store shelf? There are so many options these days it can make you head spin. To make choosing the binding for a book easier, we suggest carefully evaluating what you want out of a book cover before even seeking quotations. Regardless of prices, durability, options, and jargon, the current project should begin with a wish list that can be tailored using other factors (budget, sales price, durability, custom suggestions, etc.). Below are helpful defining points that should assist in your cover type decision.

• What type of material is being bound? i.e. event program, heavily used reference material, coffee table book, etc.

• Total number of pages

• Type and weight of paper

• Physical dimensions (may alter page count - spine side and binding margin should be considered as well)

• Appearance desired

• Durability desired

• Budget (and any target retail pricing)

Computer aid!?!
///////////////////////////////

Do you use some of the same words over and over - perhaps forms, etc.? Did you know that most programs will allow you to save the basics as a template? Depending on how organized you are, this may aid in quickly finding and reusing information that may get misplaced or saved over in standard formats.
