Paperback book printing, also known as perfect bound or softback, is the most popular type of softcover book binding. Paperback books are inexpensive to make and provide a durable, high-quality, professional look that can’t be matched. They offer an attractive printable square spine. Saddle stitch, wire-o, and spiral binding cannot offer this. A paperback book is the ideal choice for publications with higher page counts (28 pages up to 50mm thick), such as pocket books, guidebooks, tradebooks, manuals, handbooks, novels, fiction, nonfiction, textbooks, mass market paperbacks, and more. They are less costly to produce than hardcover books.
