BOOK CATEGORIES
The difference between an album and book is the construction. H&H albums are constructed with a book block that have a substrate between the printed pages. Album pages are rigid and are offered in single or double weight thickness. H&H books do not have a substrate core sheet and have flexible pages. H&H offers three types of books:
Photographic Pano Books
H&H Photographic Pano Books are a hybrid between an album and a coffee table book. These books are printed on photographic paper with full pano spreads and a creased center seam. The photographic pages are glued together back-to-back without a core sheet, which provides a flexible page like a press book. However, a variety of cover options such as metal, leathers, faux, and fabrics make this a hybrid between an album and a press book. These features offer aggressive pricing that make photographic pano books a “must have” value for your clients as a starter or middle category offering.
Aura Books
When you want something more contemporary and unique than a press book
H&H Aura books combine the quality of photographic paper with the slim profile of a press book but are designed with full pano spreads. The spreads are bound together, back-to-back without a core sheet, and assembled with your chosen cover style.
Aura Books feature contemporary thin, flexible covers, available in a selection of sleek and sophisticated finishes, including photographic covers, synthetics, faux, and blended leather that seamlessly integrate with your client's images.
The clean, flexible, simple covers and profile of the Aura Books make them a perfect fit for coffee tables, shelves, client portfolios, children, boudoir, seniors, parent and grandparent books.
Add personalized cover wraps for sophisticated style – gorgeous leather wraps or linen wraps with magnetic closure, designed with your own flat ink personalization complete the modern look to make a truly unique keepsake.
Press Books
Often referred to as coffee table books, press books are printed on a variety of press papers. Because press paper can be printed on both sides, there is no need for page cores or gluing pages back-to-back. Press books have a slim style and offer photographic book cover selections in glossy or soft velvet touch finishes. Press books are designed as single pages, not full pano spreads.
