Perfect for simple presentations - For books with less pages, the Stitch-Bound design may be your best bet. The pages are slightly thicker than the Book Bound styles and use a classic saddle stitch. These less expensive books are perfect for mini albums or children's picture books. Stitch Bound books are available only with a hard cover. With saddle stitch binding the signature pages are stacked together and stitched up the center, folded in half and adhered to the board of the book. With this type of binding there is minimal loss in the gutter.
