Logical fact of “you get what you pay for” should be included as you form your publication plan. We’d all like library oversewn hard cover books of fine leather (gilt edging anyone), printed on a nice weight (how heavy depending on page count), high cotton content/acid free, fine paper (vellum, high opacity, bright white, etc.). However in the 21st century it’s rare to find anyone with the budget that will allow it.

Not all hard bindings are created equal. Know the standard options of the publisher:
Standard ALA Oversewn Hard Binding: High Quality, Low Price
Deluxe Hard Binding Information
Full Color Covers
Specialty Hard Binding: High Quality, Low Price
If the standard offerings don’ already do so, can they include elements that you are interested in? This should be a factor in choosing your publisher/binder.

Splitting binding types for economy: Final book publishing costs can be reduced by the types of bindings that are chosen. While a full project of hardbound books (standard, deluxe, or color) may not be affordable, a publishing of softbound books are. Depending on the project, it may be possible to hard bind a few of these special to accommodate special paid pre-orders, special gift and family books, collector editions, etc. By printing the text blocks at the same time, offset orders even saves on printing, versus publishing a hand full of hardbound books separately.
