Paper stock options
Selecting the right paper stock can be tricky, as it ultimately defines the feel of your entire book. Uncoated paper stock has a rough, natural feeling; it's recommended for traditional books without imagery.

End sheets are glued to the inside of the book's front and back covers. They attach to the bound-together pages (the page block) and hold the page block to the hardcover case.
