Books: Hard Cover or Soft Cover

Recommended Posts

I am searching for a new Bible and would like to make a leather cover once purchased.

In terms of the leather cover……, is there any benefit to a hard cover or soft cover book?

Which is easier and best long term?

Are you asking which one (hard vs. soft) will be easiest to put into a leather cover?  Hard is usually easier to put into something—less give that will crinkle inside the cover flaps.  It is also thicker, though, so you'll have to account for that when measuring and constructing the cover.

Yes, that is exactly my question and your answer is appreciated.

Glad to be of assistance!  As a matter of fact, I've been thinking about how to make something like this for my wife, as her Bible binding is starting to come apart and she wants a new carrier to replace her old textile one.  Haven't gotten into the design yet, so I'll be interested to see what you produce.

ETA: One of the subforums has a section about books, journal covers, and similar items.  There are a ton of threads discussing Bible covers; they'll have some really good information that would help you in all aspects.

Personally, I have recently been switching to online. Sometimes I find it difficult to understand and I use https://edubirdie.com/case-study-writing-service to get help from professionals. They do everything quickly and it is quite convenient, although it is difficult to give up books, so I combine it.

Great thoughts. Thank you!
