What the Hard Cover Actually Does
A rigid cover protects the page block from the handling a well-loved book gets. Corners stay square, the spine does not soften, and the book stands on a shelf without sagging. That is the whole reason to pay more than a softcover.
It also changes how the book feels when it is handed over. For a gift, an album or anything meant to be kept, the weight in the hand is part of the point.
Made for
- A wedding or anniversary album
- A gift for grandparents
- A photography portfolio
- A book meant to last decades
