They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, however most people do. Family Cookbook Project announces a new, upgraded cookbook cover.  You can now select a hardcover binding that includes the name of the cookbook on the spine.

A hardcover option has been a popular request from many of our editors and you can now select that option for your cookbook under Layout & Design, Binder & Lamination Options.

A hardcover can be applied to either an 8 1/2 x 11 cookbook or our standard 8 ½ x 5 ½ cookbook. All of our existing covers are available for hardcovers as well as custom covers that the editors design.

The addition of a hardcover will impact the price of your cookbook by about six dollars per cookbook.  Shipping may be a bit higher with the added weight, too.

The hardcover binding has a page limit of 250 pages. This is usually more than enough for most cookbooks to print all of your best recipes.  Let us know what you think!
