Linen Hardcover
Woven linen and foil, for the book you do not want to look printed.
Uncoated 200 gsm stock has a quiet, papery surface that reads as a book rather than a print job — no glare under a lamp, no fingerprints on a dark page. The linen is real book cloth, wrapped by hand around the boards, with your title pressed into it in foil. It is the tier people keep buying twice because the first one got given away.
Offset-quality press — 300 dpi. Ink laid down as a fine screen of dots at 300 dpi, colour-managed to a measured profile. What a good book or magazine is printed with. Compare the three processes

Inside it
How the spreads sit
Sewn and glued, so the book opens well and stays open — but keep faces out of the very centre of a spread, or step up to a lay-flat edition.
