AuthorHouse publishes softcover books in perfect-bound format, a type of book binding that uses glue to hold the pages and cover together (typical of most professional books found in stores). Our hardcover books feature a durable cloth binding, an embossed spine, and a full-color dust jacket that allows room for descriptive copy about your book and your author biography on its inside flaps.We do not publish wire-o, plasticomb, three-ring, nor spiral-bound books.
