I'd love to find a comparison chart for hardcovers.
Showing how they look & hold up after a durability test for:
-general wear & tear (after how many 'reads')
-manhandling of spine
-exposure to heat & light.
Comparing:
Bookblock
-Thermal Binding
-PVA glue Binding
-Sewn pages
cover
-Homemade bookcloth (heat-&-bond backed fabric)
-commercial bookcloth
-Laminated paper covers
-laminated cloth covers?
-Spray laminated covers... etc etc
Has anyone found one or done one yourself? What is your experiance with various covers?
