What kind of paper and binding are used for the books?
Only high-quality paper and materials are used to create our books. All books are perfect bound, which is a standard for most paperback books. A perfect bound book has a true spine with a flat surface where text can be placed. The pages are cut evenly and glued and bound in the spine. The 6×9 and 5×8 books are printed on 55lb., offset*, opaque, 444 PPI**, crème white and acid-free paper. The 8.25×11 books are printed with 50lb., offset, opaque, 512 PPI, white and acid-free paper. For all book sizes, the cover is printed on 100lb., offset, white enamel paper and laminated (glossy). *Offset is a type of paper that is suitable for book printing. **PPI means “pages per inch.” A page in this case means the actually piece of paper, or front and back of a sheet of paper, which technically in the book would be counted as two pages of text.
