You may know case bound books as hardcover books. In a case bound book, a hard durable cover (usually made from stiff cardboard) wraps the book, protecting the pages and the spine. This cover is usually wrapped in a special type of book cloth, for a classy (and classic) look. Case binding is an excellent choice for fiction as well as non-fiction books, as it is an exceptionally protective binding style suitable for a long shelf life. At 48 Hour Books, you can choose from a gloss or silk (matte) laminate finish for your case bound book. Specialty options, such as cloth and leather covers, are also available.

Just like the name indicates, spiral binding uses a spiral, or coil, that threads through perforations in the pages to bind the book together. It’s similar to a spiral-bound notebook, such as the ones you used in school. Spiral binding is a great choice for workbooks, cookbooks, activity books, coloring books, and any kind of book where it’s helpful to have the book lay flat.
