I have a childrens book with only 18 pages, what should I do?
The minimum number of pages required to do a hard cover book is 32 (and that can include the endpapers), so you will have to “add” a few pages. Usually that’s easy to do with tricks such as having a “half-title” page, and a full title page spread (2 pages) and you can often “open up” some other pages to give you what you need. Remember, many children’s books have text on one page and a picture facing it, so not every page is “full”.
