Softcover Books
Softcover books, also called perfect bound or paperbacks, are made with an adhesive binding called “perfect binding.” Perfect binding is a cost-friendly manufacturing choice. Page sections are gathered together with the spine skived off. A thick covering of glue is applied and a paper cover attached to the spine. After that, the book is trimmed to the size you chose will soon be ready for distribution.
