Softcover oder Hardcover
Du hast die Wahl: Entscheide dich für einen klassischen Softcover- oder für einen hochwertigen Hardcover-Einband. Wir haben dir die Vor- und Nachteile zusammengestellt:
| Softcover | Hardcover |
Herstellungskosten | günstiger als Hardcover, attraktiverer Verkaufspreis möglich | höhere Produktionskosten, dadurch höherer Verkaufspreis |
Format | leichter, passt besser in deine Tasche, angenehmer für unterwegs | schwerer und unhandlicher, dadurch weniger geeignet für Reisen und fürs „nebenbei lesen“ |
Wertigkeit | wirkt weniger hochwertig, weniger guter Blickfang als Hardcover | hochwertiger Eindruck, bessere Geschenk- und Sammler-Tauglichkeit; wirkt prestigeträchtiger |
Stabilität | Ecken knicken schneller und der Buchrücken kann eher brechen | stabiler Einband, bessere Formstabilität und Schutz der Seiten |
Layout check
We check your text for readability and printability (Are the margins sufficient for printing? Is the font size easy to read in print? Is the line spacing right? Is the resolution of the illustrations sufficient for good print quality?), embed the fonts if necessary and take care of automatic page numbers and a table of contents.
