What is highly distinctive about these three particular products other than the incredibly large size is the fact that the top, face and foot of the covers have been “bevelled” or angled cut. You can see from the pictures. Sometimes, we work with board which is up to 200pt thick. The board of a normal hardback case bound book is usually 100pt. Sometimes these covers are 150pt or 200pt. The bevelled edge is usually the angle as you can see here, but it could be more angled. As you can see, it’s wrapped like a normal hardback case bound book and stamped as normal. The black one has been bound with Chicago screws which are removable. You’ll notice a different “bevelling” on the one book and the corners are square. On the unbelievably large, black book the bevelled corners are rounded. This cover is obviously deeply debossed and multiple applied cover colours in the front. The green, oversize book which is bevelled on all three sides, front and back cover as a printed and end paper has sewn a clear overlay sheet inside the end paper. Again, another unusual application.
Here is yet again of some pictures of hardback books which have been “bevelled” on the edges. The red on top board is a 200pt. The bottom two boards are much thinner; 150pt board. They can be the covers of hardback case bound book with a square corner or rounded a different radii. We can actually produce different angles 45° or 35° depending how much slant image your client wants. Yes, this “decorated” – style is not very common, but if your client needs it, please give us a call.
