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.

Publication as e-book and ISBN

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book.

Worldwide distribution

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book. We deliver your book to our worldwide distribution network: over 300 online shops.

Appealing blurb

We will write you a blurb that arouses curiosity and emotions – and convinces readers. Perfectly tailored to your genre and target audience.

Personal contact

Benefit from our many years of publishing experience: We support you with our know-how from upload to finished book. With us, you will get a personal contact person, we will guide you step by step through the entire process and are there for you.

Layout Deluxe

Your book, perfectly staged: With professional typography, stylish book typesetting and design templates that fit your project, we ensure an all-round coherent reading experience. Whether classic or individual – we design your book the way your story deserves it.

Cover Service

Do you already have your own photo or motif or at least a very concrete idea of how you imagine your book cover? Perfect! We will take care of the creation and send you two to four drafts, from which you can choose one.

You don’t have a cover idea yet or would like us to include your author photo on the back of the book? No problem. For an extra charge of €50, our graphic designer will search for motifs and design your individual book cover including an author’s photo on the book cover – creatively, professionally and matching your story.
