The difference between hardcover books and paperback books

Mainly reflected in the binding form:

The cover of a book can be divided into hardcover and paperback: the cover of a paperback book is the first to directly contact with readers, so its design should not only protect the book, convey information, but also play a certain role in advertising.

The cover of hardcover books usually has a protective cover on the outside, so that the protective cover of hardcover books has roughly the same function as the cover of paperback books. The cover of hardcover books protected by protective covers is also called "inner seal". Most of them are simple and generous in design and need to give up the attempt of advertising.

Production technology: Paperback book is simple in technology and easy to use. According to the characteristics of modern printing, large-format pages are first folded into pamphlets, then bound into volumes, covered with covers, and cut off three sides to become readable books. Hardcover books are mainly modeled on the cover, back and corners of the book block. The processing methods and forms are diverse, and the books are particularly generous and artistic.
