Coffee Table Scale: the 8x11 Hardcover Photo Book
An 8x11 hardcover photo book, or hardback photo book, is the closest thing in our range to a published photo album book. The largest page we print, a rigid printed cover, and a page count deliberately capped at 50 so the proportions stay right rather than turning into a brick.
That cap is the defining feature. Fifty pages at 8x11 is an edit, not an archive, which is exactly what makes a coffee-table photobook work. Thirty strong photographs given a full page each will hold someone’s attention in a way that three hundred small ones never do.
Making the Edit for an 8x11 Hardcover Photo Book
Because the page count is limited, this format rewards ruthlessness. Choose the photographs that carry a story on their own, give most of them a whole page, and resist filling spreads with grids. A fifty page photobook edits itself if you let it.
If you need to include far more images, 8x11 softcover photo books run to 150 pages at the same page size.
