How much more is hardcover?
Many have asked…how much more is a hardcover book compared to a softcover book? Many variables affect the pricing. As a comparison, we will use a 6×9 book, 192 pages, 500 copies as an example: standard perfect binding would cost $4.88 per book; standard hardcover would cost $10.35 per book. Dustjackets or printed and laminated covers would cost more.
