Special Edition Book Printing

Also commonly referred to as a limited edition book, a special edition book is a different version of a book that is designed to cater to various readers.

Consider printing with us to benefit from our 25 years and counting of industry service, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched customer service — we can help you both save over 40% on costs and help you earn a higher margin on your special edition book!

Custom Special Edition Books

Below are some of the customization options available for limited edition books:

● Hardcover binding for the limited edition, while the common edition is paperback.
● Special cover surface finishes, such as embossing, spot UV, or foil stamping.
● Faux leather or fabric covers to offer a luxurious touch.
● Painted or foil gilded edges, adding an elegant finish to the pages.
● Slipcases, perfect for presenting the book as a collectible item.

 

Limited edition books are typically printed with the same interior as their common edition counterparts. However, they stand apart with distinct cover designs, binding methods, and unique copyright pages. By printing both editions together, we can share the interior printing files, making the limited edition books more affordable without compromising on quality.

Shiny and reflective, perfect for vibrant graphics and photos.

Varnishing
