Hardcover and paperback describe different cover structures. The way the interior pages are joined is another decision and should be discussed separately.
Plan for the gutter
Some image area becomes less visible near the binding. Avoid placing important faces or text across the gutter without reviewing the proposed structure.
Compare a physical sample
Opening behavior depends on construction, paper, size and page count. Discuss your expectations using a relevant sample rather than relying only on a binding name.
Confirm the complete specification
The factory must verify suitability and availability. Do not assume one page-count multiple applies to every binding and print process.
General preparation information. Project requirements, materials and services must be confirmed; this is not a manufacturing commitment.
