The anatomy of a printed book cover

The anatomy of a printed book cover

I send lots of covers off to press for print and web. I love working on covers, all the parts of a book are so exciting but covers are the faces, the part that's judged first and it's why a good designer will take time on them. Never accept second best!

'The latest one to go through is for a history title, Balsham, a village story, 1617–2017. This was a surprisingly difficult cover to do because of the volume of images to work with.

First look at our book!

We are delighted to reveal two pages from our book. We put these together to show you how our content is coming along and what we anticipate the book will look like. You can pick up a printed copy at our Valuation Day on 22nd April. If you would like a copy for your place of work, a community group or library, get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
