Getting Started with Your Hardcover Book
Creating a hardcover book is a meaningful process. It often involves bringing together written content, images, and ideas into a format that feels premium, durable, and timeless. A hardcover book is designed to last, and the goal is to present your work in a way that feels special from the first page to the last.
From the moment you get started, a personal account manager is assigned to your project and stays with you throughout the entire process. Their role is to ensure your hardcover book is produced exactly as you envision it, with clear guidance and consistent support at every stage.
To begin, you can request a free online quote or ask for a free sample book to experience the quality, binding, and finish before placing an order.
Printing Your Hardcover Book
When planning a hardcover book, questions naturally come up. Choosing the right size, page count, paper type, and finish can feel overwhelming, but help is always available. Your dedicated account manager is there to answer questions and guide you toward the best options for your project.
There are no fixed rules when it comes to hardcover printing. Every book is different, and the final decisions are entirely yours. Hardcover binding is often chosen for books meant to be kept, displayed, or gifted, as it offers strength, longevity, and a premium feel.
Hardcover books can be enhanced with special finishes such as cloth covers, dust jackets, ribbon markers, or foil detailing to add an extra layer of quality and visual impact.
If hardcover binding does not suit your budget, paperback is also a reliable alternative and can still look impressive with the right cover design and finishing choices.
Including color images is a popular option for many hardcover books. To manage costs, color pages can be added as inserts rather than printing the entire book in color.
Hardcover books can be printed in a range of sizes, from A5 to A4 and custom dimensions, depending on the type of content and how the book will be used. The most suitable size often depends on readability, layout, and overall presentation.
Designing Your Hardcover Book
If you plan to design your book yourself, print-ready templates are available with correct margins, page sizes, and layout settings already in place. Once your files are complete, they can be submitted for a free file assessment to ensure everything is ready for print.
For those who prefer professional support, experienced designers are available to assist with cover design and interior layout, ensuring the final hardcover book looks polished and consistent.
Other Things to Consider
Editing and Proofreading
Before printing, it’s important to ensure your content is fully edited and proofread. You may choose to handle this yourself or work with professional editors to refine the final manuscript.
Number of Copies
Consider how many copies you will need before printing begins. Ordering a larger quantity upfront can reduce the cost per book. If the book is intended for public sale, an ISBN will be required, along with proper registration for distribution and cataloguing.
A hardcover book is more than just a printed product. With the right guidance, materials, and finishing, it becomes something that can be kept, shared, and valued for years to come.
Our Recommendations
When it comes to autobiographies there are so many options, they don't fit into a 'general' style, it really is up to you how you want the finished book to look. The differences here really come down to budget.
If budget is not a question then we would suggest you go for a hardback, A4 book, printed in full colour with foiling to the cover. However, if you are trying to keep costs down then an A5 paperback can work just as well.

Writing a small autobiography I thought it would be a good idea to have it printed professionally rather than attempting DIY copying and I came across Everline Press from the internet. As a complete novice, the process turned out to be seamlessly easy and the finished product very satisfactory.
