Books to fit your goals and your budget

Based on the overall characteristics of your book and the goals for publishing, we evaluate the various printing and binding production methods and their costs. We’ll recommend options and use the approach that best fits your needs and your budget — hardcover, softcover, or handbound heirloom edtions.

Hardcover Editions

Beautifully constructed hardcover bindings and varied finishes describe Deluxe Edition books. Each Deluxe Edition book is unique, rendered with exceptional standards, style, and design. These books often include photos and other illustrations, and images prominently.

Made with the finest materials and attention to detail, hardcovers provide sturdy protection against light, dust, and frequent handling.

Printing options

We offer digital, indigo, and offset printing on high quality long-lasting acid-neutral papers.

Binding options

Binding options include:

    • Textured book cloth in a range of color choices. They often include gold or silver foil stamping on the front cover and spine. Optional dust jackets can also add protection and an individualized touch.
    • Another option is a full color laminated printed hard cover providing a lively visual introduction to the content of your book.

    Softcover books

    These softcover books by Bennett Book Design are not your typical paperback books. Good typography, classic design, clear images, and the proper printing and binding methods make a Paperback Edition book attainable, affordable, and pleasing to the eye.

    Quality Paperback book printing options are digital, indigo, and offset on high quality acid-neutral papers. Photos and images are carefully reproduced.

    Photographic or graphic book covers capture the spirit of the book’s content. Sturdy matte or gloss laminated paper covers encase the books for excellent durability.

    Lower production costs can produce an attractive quality paperback. The goals you have for your project will help determine which is the right production method for your printed edition.

    Beautifully designed and crafted

    There is nothing quite like the intimacy of reading from a beautifully designed and crafted book. That experience is most poignant in an Heirloom Edition book where form and content are at their finest.

    The most exquisite materials and bindings

    • For superior quality, the books are printed on archival paper
    • Sophisticated, handcrafted bindings include a choice of elegant cloth, quarter leather or full leather
    • Bindings are skillfully hand-sewn and hand-tooled
    • Hand-marbled paper and other custom finishes can be added to book covers and as end papers.

    Heirloom book design

    • Classic typography
    • Elegant ornamentation
    • Handsomely illustrated appropriate to the book’s subject — photos, portraits, maps, etc.
