What is the difference between book bound and stitch bound?
The Book Bound EX comes in your choice of a red or black book case with silver hot stamping on the front and a book jacket with the same design as the hard cover. The inside pages have a laminate coating with your choice of a glossy or matte finish and varnish. The Book Bound comes in a frosted plastic book case. Available in a hard or soft cover and a varnish coating on the inside pages. In both lines of the Book Bound books, the signatures are stacked, cut and adhered to the book spine using perfect binding. You will lose approximately 1/2″ in the gutter with this type of binding. The Stitch Bound comes in a frosted plastic case. Available in both laminate and varnish coatings. In the Stitch Bound book line, the signatures are hand-stitched (saddle stitching) and adhered to the spine of the book. There is minimal image loss in the gutter with this type of binding.
