Whether the hardcover books still have advantage today?
Posted: Jan 11, 2019
Another function of the hardcover book is sociality. You can gift the hardcover book to friends. Share with your friends, not only the book, but also the feeling of the book.
For the publishers, hardcover book is much more profitable despite the costing what is higher than paperback. If a hardcover book sells well, publishers will delay release of the paperback, even at the expense of the circulation.
But the worth of the hardcover book not only reflects in the currency. The hardcover book is the symbol of nobleness, it tells booksellers and reviewer that it’s worth your attention. And the truth is that the literary editors only review for the first hardcover book. For the author and agent, hardcover attaches importance to the book, even they want to insist the publication of hardcover.
For the booksellers, a different between hardcover book and paperback is the size of the book. Sounds funny, right? But it’s important for booksellers. Hardcover book is bigger than paperback, they will occupy more space, they obvious no matter on the bookshelf or on the table. Another different between the two is the paper. Hardcover’s paper is much thicker, the feeling of turning pages is totally different. That feeling is beautiful and make readers steeped in it. The typesetting of the book also makes readers have a feeling of noble.
Nowadays, with the developments of science and technology, online reading is a convenient and cheap method to get information and knowledge. It seems that the traditional book printing industry will decline step-by-step. While, in my humble opinion, traditional paper book printing will never disappear. I can’t deny it that modern people prefer reading online than reading paper books, but actually reading paper books mostly looks like a kind of nostalgia. Compared with the e-books, we can pay more attention to the content of the book, at the same time, it can reduce e-products’ disturbances to us-modern people rely on the e-products too much.
We consider the book printing containing the softcover book and hardcover book in general. But what are the difference between softcover books and hardcover books? The covers of softcover books are coated papers, while the hardcover books always use cardboard that equipped with a protective cover just as textiles, thick papers and leathers etc. Through decorations and processing, colors, characters, and patterns foil stamping, the cardboard turns into hardcover. The extravagant cover helps protect the books from break angle and bending. Softcover books are mostly used to read because the cover paper is easy to fold, which is different from the hardcover books, so most of the time, the hardcover books are prepared for collection. One of my friends has told me that we should buy 3 sets of books what we enjoy, one for reading, one for borrowing, and one for collection. I am in favor of that deeply.
