Why are some books produced with softcovers and others with hardcovers? Why would you choose a hardcover rather than a softcover, which is more economical and easier to produce? Many criteria influence the choice of bookbinding: content, graphic design, target audience, sale price, etc. Soft covers are paper-bound books (glued or stitched) where the inside block and the back of the cover adhere together.

These labels make it possible to fight against deforestation and thus to protect the biodiversity that these ecosystems shelter. It encourages the entire recycling sector through the sorting and recovery of waste. What can you do to print responsibly? By favouring standard print formats for your [...]

Depending on the number of elements to be gilded, the process can be performed in several passes on the [...]

So, what the right format of your book is and how to make the right choices? Standard formats and custom formats In the field of book publishing, but also for other printed documents, there are [...]
How can you make a thousand-year-old text shine by presenting it to the public in an appropriate form? It’s an opportunity to create a unique object, but how then to choose suitable paper, cloth binding, endpapers, boards and a dust jacket to add value to a book which is at once spiritual, literary and scientific? Here we present the design of the “Adamantine songs”: texts written in India towards the end of the first millennium. Spiritual in nature, they are accompanied by a scientific commentary.
