The Format That Holds the Most
Softcover is where the page count lives. The 6x8 and 8x8 formats run to 200 pages, the highest of anything we print, and the 8x11 to 150. If you have a year or a decade to fit in one book, this is the format that takes it.
The cover is a flexible printed card rather than a rigid board. It weighs less and bends rather than cracks in a bag. The trade-off is protection, so for a gift or an heirloom a hardcover holds up better.
Made for
- A full year of family photos
- A long trip
- A yearbook or project
- A first draft before a hardcover
