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.
