bound applies to paper back/soft cover books made of flexible, yet durable stock. Typically used for novels, manuals, and cookbooks
Coil binding is a versatile option when your book needs to lay flat when turning pages. Cookbooks, training manuals, and Presentation materials are prime examples.
Saddle stitched is used for smaller page counts where the pages are held together with staples in the center.
Catalogs, magazines, programs and brochures typically use this binding method.
Hard cover binding is a high end option for self publishers. A rigid hardcover encases the entire interior.|

The ISBN numbering system is used worldwide and publishers around the globe identify their work in this standardized format. Each title or edition must be identified by a unique ISBN It is the standard ID number used to identify books by booksellers, libraries, book wholesalers and distributors. Other printers and publishers may offer ISBN numbers in their services but keeping mind, whoever purchases the number is listed as the publisher as ISBN numbers are non-transferrable. Acquiring a ISBN is a simple process. Go to ISBN.ORG and order directly from Bowker Identifier Service (USA issuing agency) |
