Full Color Kids Book

Product Detailed Description

A hardcover children's book is a rigid case wrapped in printed paper, with a flat front board, a back board, and a spine joining them. The printed wrap turns over the board edges and glues down inside, where endpapers cover the turn-ins and attach the text block to the case. A reader lays the book open on a lap or table, then stands it on a shelf with the spine out or places it in a book bag. Trade buyers see it on a display table, where the cover face carries the printed artwork.

• Rigid cover boards sit beneath a printed paper wrap rather than a soft cover, so a buyer sees a flat face on the counter
• A hinge groove runs beside the spine, and a reader lifts the front board away from the text block along the groove
• A reader flips the trimmed pages from the fore edge while the cover boards hold the book open on a bed
• A buyer lifts the book from a bookshop shelf and sees the gloss or matte laminate over the printed wrap catch the light
• Gold or silver foil stamping sits proud of the printed wrap, and a buyer feels the raised title under a fingertip
