Hard cover book binding

Book1One's hard cover books use the same high quality book binding process and materials that are used with any top selling books on the market. With this method, the text pages are glued together at the spine to create what is called a "text block".

"End leaves" that hold the text block to the casing are applied to the binding edge of the text block. The cover is created separately and is glued to the end leaves and text block to create
a book that will last for years.


Preparing Your Document

Pages:

Because of the trimming process, please allow a 3/4" margin on the binding edge of each page and at least a 1/2" margin at the top, bottom, and outside edge of the page.

Book1One works exclusively with PDF files. Creating a PDF is very easy and can be done two different ways:

        1. You can convert your document to PDF using your own PDF converter 
            either online or as a print driver on your own computer. When
            converting to PDF, please maintain the "highest resolution" and make
            sure the fonts are embedded.


        2. Book1One's online-ordering system allows you to upload many
            different file formats. This system will convert your file to a print ready
            PDF. Please be sure to completely review your file on the "approve
            page" as this is the file that will print.
