Book Binding Sizes and Types
Please note: These binding and paper options cannot be purchased separately. This page is designed to give you more information about the service and why it’s important for your book.
The Newyork Publishers 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). We also publish hardcover books in two trim sizes: 5.5″ x 8.5″ or 6″ x 9″. We do not publish wire-o, plasticomb, three-ring, nor spiral-bound books.
