What's the best binding for novels?
Perfect binding is the ideal choice for novels. With higher page counts typical of fiction, it offers a sturdy, professional finish that keeps every page secure, presenting your story in a polished and elegant format.
What's the best internal stock for novels?
For the internals of your novel, we recommend our uncoated stocks, available in a range of weights to suit your needs. We also offer 80 gsm book paper with an off-white finish, giving your novel a classic, timeless feel. Want to include coated stocks for images? No problem—we can mix stocks to match your vision.
What's the best cover stock for novels?
Most novels we print are softcover, offering a lightweight, versatile, and affordable option. If you prefer a premium finish, we also produce hardcover novels, providing extra durability and a classic, polished look. Softcovers typically use 300–350 gsm stock for strength and style, while hardcovers feature wrapped board for a lasting, professional finish.
How long does it take?
Most softcover orders are completed in 5 - 7 working days, Hardcover Books in 10 - 12. Need it quicker? - Speak to one of our experts to discuss the possibilities.
