Every self-proclaimed bookworm has had the age-old debate: paperback or hardcover?<\/span><\/p>\n This small distinction between reading material preferences has divided readers for years, and in recent years, other strong contenders have entered the ring.<\/span><\/p>\n Between eBooks, audiobooks, and the traditional physical copy, there’s a book for every type of reader.<\/span><\/p>\n But what about emerging readers?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gifting a child their first book is a special moment, but you likely aren’t handing over a copy of Moby Dick.<\/span><\/p>\n While hardcover books may seem like the most durable option for your kid-friendly book, choosing between hardcover vs. board book may be a decision you never knew you would have to make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What’s the difference? Read on to find out about what separates hardcover and board books and which is better suited for your book-printing project!<\/span><\/p>\n A hardcover book<\/a> is one that most people are more familiar with. It lives up to its name, as a book with a hard cover to protect its inside pages.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the pages on the inside of the cover are traditional paper pages and can be easily torn.<\/span><\/p>\n While hardcover books may be a <\/span>popular and durable<\/span><\/a> option for adult readers, they aren’t always the right choice for infants.<\/span><\/p>\n You may think you’ve never heard of a board book before, but I guarantee you that <\/span>you’ve seen or held one<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Board books<\/a> also have a hardcover, but their inside pages are equally sturdy. Each page of the book is usually a page of thicker cardboard material.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This not only protects the pages from tears and creases but also makes the pages easier to turn.<\/span><\/p>\n Because of how thick board books would be, they are generally used for children’s picture books. Board books may possess other characteristics that make them <\/span>kid-friendly<\/span><\/a>, like being light and easy to hold or having rounded edges.<\/span><\/p>\n If, after reading both of those descriptions, you’re still not sure which type you’d like to print, ask yourself the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n Between writing the words, adding illustrations, and deciding on a cover, the actual construction of your book might be the last detail that you’ve considered.<\/span><\/p>\n But, making sure that your book is beautifully made will ensure that your hard work outlasts you.<\/span><\/p>\n1.
