i’ve been working on this since january. i’m both so fucking glad it’s done and also a little bit disappointed with it. i made my own book cloth and you can see where the heat n bond has seeped through the cloth bc it go too hot, the small spines i really should have thought of while making the typesets, and should’ve upped the font size to make it larger. i think i was so focused on finishing it that i maybe got a little lost in the details u know?

but anyway! i wanted to try my hand at the inspired by clothbound classics covers, and i’m pretty satisfied with how that came out! it was a lot of fun to decorate these with their charms on the bookmarks (my fav is the little tiny perfume on teenage wasteland. like how cute!! and tiny!!) and to try not to get too caught up in reading when i was editing.

i love all of these stories so much and i’m so excited to have made them all into physical books!

Make Your Mark on the Paper Realm: Hardcover Book Printing

Hardcover book printing is a time-honored and highly sought after method of creating books, particularly for those seeking to make a lasting impression. Adopting this process has a number of advantages, including durability, sophisticated design options and the ability to get your book into the hands of readers faster. If you're interested in utilizing hardcover book printing techniques, there are a few factors you need to take into consideration before moving forward.

Hardcover Book Printing

Hardcover books have sustained a lasting presence in literature, representing quality and permanence. As a result, hardcover book printing is an important service for writers and publishers alike. With the help of professional hardcover book printing companies, authors can bring their works to life with stunning results.

These companies provide authors with high-quality printing options for any type of book cover design – from dust jackets to full-color cloth covers. Utilizing state of the art equipment and techniques, these printers are able to create vivid artwork and crisp text that will draw readers in from the first glance. Hardcover book printing involves expert knowledge of binding techniques that ensure your books will stand up to years of wear and tear. The use of special glues and durable materials guarantee that your work is preserved with utmost care for generations to come.

Benefits of Hardcover Printing

Custom hardcover book printing offers an array of benefits for customers. From improved durability to enhanced visuals, these books are the perfect way to showcase your work with style and class. Here are some of the key benefits that come with hardcover printing:

Firstly, custom hardcovers offer significantly better protection than paperback books. The sturdy material used in their construction means they can withstand more wear and tear, providing long-term protection for your work. Hardcovers also have a much longer shelf life than paperbacks, ensuring that your content is kept safe over time.

Secondly, hardcover printing provides a professional touch to any book or publication. The sleek look and feel of a custom hardcover will make it stand out from other print media and give it gravitas that softcover books cannot match.

Types of Hardcover Binding

Hardcover books are printed with a durable cover, often made of cardboard and cloth, that protect the pages inside. This type of binding is ideal for libraries, collectors and authors who want to preserve their work for generations. For those looking to produce hardcover books in New York City, there are several types of binding available.

The traditional method is called case binding. In this process, the book block (consisting of folded signatures) is glued together and lined up with a tray case which contains the boards covered in paper or cloth. The book block is then attached to the tray case using adhesive tape or glue along its spine edge. This type of binding requires minimal stitching compared to other methods but has limited flexibility when modifications such as re-sizing are needed.

Quality Considerations

When it comes to book binding, choosing high quality materials that produce an elegant and luxurious result is key. Hardcover binding has long been the go-to for those looking for a durable and beautiful final product. The hardcover is produced with strong adhesive glue that binds together quality paper, cloth or leather covered boards to house the printed material within.

The elements of hardcover binding must be carefully chosen and crafted to deliver a superior outcome; from the type of paper and cover material used, through to the die-cutting of intricate designs or embossing techniques applied. All of these factors contribute to making hardcover bindings not only sturdy but aesthetically pleasing as well.

Design Tips

Designing can be an intimidating process for even the most experienced graphic designers. But with these tips, you’ll be able to confidently create high-quality designs that will impress your customers and colleagues alike.

Whether you’re a beginner or have years of experience under your belt, understanding how to produce hi-quality PDFs at 300dpi is essential for any designer. Making sure that the resolution of your design is consistent and optimized for print will ensure that all of your work looks great no matter what platform it’s viewed on. Additionally, utilizing tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator can help streamline the design process while ensuring accuracy in color reproduction.

Finally, don’t forget to take regular breaks throughout the day to keep yourself feeling energized and inspired!

Cost Factors

Book printing costs are largely based on the size, page count, paper type, and cover material used. When deciding on a hardcover book project, it is important to understand the cost factors associated with each of these elements.

The size of a book is measured by its width and height in inches or centimeters. Generally speaking, larger books will be more expensive than smaller ones. The page count affects the number of pages that need to printed as well as binding costs--longer books will require more pages and therefore cost more than shorter ones.

The type of paper used for interior pages can also have an impact on total production costs; thicker paper stocks tend to be pricier than lighter weight ones. In addition, different types of cover materials such as cloth-bound or glossy lamination may vary in price depending upon availability and supplier rates.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Printer

Hardcover book printing is a complex process that requires the right printer to ensure a great final product. With so many paper options, experienced printers, and reviews to consider, choosing the best one can be overwhelming. It's important to understand what qualities make an ideal printer for your project.

When selecting a hardcover book printer, look for one with experience in publishing and print production that offers great customer service and timely delivery of projects. A reputable company will have plenty of positive reviews from previous customers who are happy with their results. Additionally, it is essential that they provide fast turnaround times; after all, nobody wants to wait any longer than necessary for custom printed books! Investigate the paper stocks available and ask questions about the quality of materials used before making your decision so you know you're getting top-notch products every time.

In conclusion, Digital City Printing offers an efficient, cost-effective way to produce high-quality professional hardcover books.

Fanbinding Battle Lines!

I finished the fanbinding for @septemberrie 's Silrah bodyguard AU, Battle Lines, earlier this week and I forgot (of course) to take photos of the process but here is the end result! This has been a learning experience and there are definitely things I want to change for the next binding (the level of detail in the foil for example! Took me d a y s) and I am excited to try again but I am incredibly proud of this first ever full pdf to hardcover book bind!

Disclaimer that the wings and crossed swords were from a Google png search so I did not design but as this is for fully personal use its OK. Unexpectedly it was the swords that caused more problems at foil weeding! Wild. And there are paired birds on the endpapers!

This was so much fun, and I am now going to be a menace turning all my favourite longfics into glitzy hardback books!

I've been loving the thought of Bucky getting kind of possessive recently and honestly, it's way too hot

Because I love the thought of him dropping you onto the bed and barely giving you a second to think before his lips are back on yours and his bodyweight is pressing you into the mattress.

"Such a good girl for me." He hums between bites to your neck, letting himself take the extra few moments to ensure he's left a trail of bruises in his wake.

But he's right and you know he is. You're only a good girl for him.

One of his hands trails its way up your bare leg, starting at your knee. It moves painfully slowly, the wait making you more desperate than you thought possible in such a short space of time.

"Bucky, please." You whine, begging for more, begging him to really touch you instead of just the featherlight graze of his fingertips.

The very tip of his index finger drifts over the thin lace of your panties, admiring that they're soaked through with evidence of your arousal. "Is this all for me?" He teases, tapping gently on your clit through the slick fabric, watching your expression because touching you like that just isn't enough.

You nod but that's not the response he wants and you know it. He wants to hear you. So you indulge him.

"I'm so wet for you." You whisper, a little embarrassed but the way he kisses your shoulders reassures you.

He brings the slick tip of his finger to his lips, making sure you're watching before he lets it slip into his mouth, making a show of the way he indulges in your arousal. You hear him groan quietly before he shuffles down the bed, pulling your panties off and tossing them onto the floor.

"God, you're beautiful." He trails two fingers in gentle circles over your clit before replacing them with his mouth. His tongue flicks methodically over the most sensitive part of your body, lapping like this is all he needs. For a second, you think it might be.

Your hands find their way into his hair, desperate to pull him closer. You can't help but notice that his tongue feels so different to his fingertips, despite the fact he uses very similar motions. His tongue doesn't offer the same friction or pressure but it's a truly wonderful feeling in its own way.

Half of the excitement of this is watching the way he loses himself in the taste of you. You feel him groan against your sex, his eyes squeezed shut and you know he needs this. He needs to feel the way your body reacts to each calculated flick of his tongue. He needs to feel you come undone against his mouth and he's determined to make you do just that.

His fingertips dig into your hips and thighs, his grip matching the intensity of his mouth and everything about this feels Heavenly. You know he's going to leave you marked with little crescent shaped indentions from where he's gripped you too tightly and his blunt fingernails have bit into your flesh but part of you loves the thought of it.

"You taste beautiful. You're such a good girl." You hear him mumble, kissing the insides of your thighs, taking a second to catch his breath, his fingers taking over in his mouth's absence.

"I'm your good girl, Bucky." You whine, leaning into his touch and you feel his lips curl into a soft smile against your skin.

#becca's thots #becca writes spice #bucky barnes smut #I kind of want to get back into writing some more fantasy stuff #I've spent most of the evenings this week reading #and hadn't realised that I haven't written very much #I read 'The Mad Women's Ball' a couple of nights ago #it was pretty good #the covers of the Penguin Clothbound Classics are all so pretty #I got the pretty copy of 'Frankenstein' that I've been wanting for a while #can't wait to read it!

i had a lot of fun with the ‘clothbound classics’ stickers i made, and decided to branch out! these aren't precisely ‘classic’ novels (though i would argue the hunger games is a sufficiently biting social commentary that it will, with time, become one) but i like them, and i thought they’d look good in the same style
