Giant Perfect bound book

It’s a perfect bound book that is very, very wide! Width from spine (binding edge) to the face (where the pages open) can measure from 12” to 20”.

Why design and print a giant perfect bound book?

It grabs and retains attention! It is the wide, oblong or landscape style look that really impacts people. Most people have never seen a perfect bound book with widths from 12” to 20”.

Most of the giant books we have produced are sales tools or marketing collateral—particularly to sell high-end homes, condos or buildings.

Success story!

A real estate agent in Miami was the ultimate client and our client, a Boston-based printer, needed 3,700 giant perfect bound books in a ridiculously tight time line—and we did it!

In house, we have produced quantities from 30 to 30,000 giant perfect bound books.

Features

  • Width from 12” to 20”
  • Bound with P.U.R. glue (more durable)

Benefits

  • Pages lie flatter than regular-sized perfect bound books (because of the extended width)
  • Allows for more dramatic use of photos—bigger range of photo sizes and placement.
  • Book is memorable and far less likely to hit the recycling bin.
  • Book often becomes a ‘coffee table book’ because it does not fit on a regular bookshelf.
  • Because the book is likely to be on a table or desk, it is in plain sight and is viewed more often.

Factors to Consider

  • Grain of the paper on both covers and pages MUST run parallel to the binding edge
  • Glue for binding giant perfect bound books MUST be P.U.R.
  • Because of the highly unusual size of the book, plan early on how the book is to be distributed. Will it be distributed in person? Will it require a custom envelope or box size? May be accompanied by a slip case? (We make slip cases too.)
