The case for hardcovers
When a paperback is the right choice, and when it is worth paying more for boards and cloth.
Most of what we sell is paperback, and rightly: it is cheaper, lighter and goes anywhere. But some books deserve boards.
Books you will reread
If you will open it every year, a hardcover will still be flat and tight in a decade.
Books you will give
A hardcover with a ribbon marker says you thought about it.
Books for children who are hard on books
Picture books in boards survive the bath, the car and the younger sibling.
On every book page you can switch formats and the price updates before you add it to the bag.
