Depending on the cover layout you select, you may also be able to customize the background color. Use the color picker in the bottom-right corner of the cover editor to choose from preset colors or create a custom color. View our help article for more information.

Can I customize the cover?

Text size
Text placement

Background color (depending on layout)
Additional customization outside the options available in the editor is not available.
What type of paper is used in the Photo-Wrapped Hardcover Books?
Interior Pages
- Lustre: Printed on lustre-finish photo paper, giving images rich color and a subtle sheen

How many pages can the book have?
- Minimum: 24 pages
- Maximum: 210 pages
Pages can only be added in increments of two (one spread).
How much is each additional page?
Additional page pricing varies by product and size. Please see the “Pricing Details” section on the product page for specific costs.
Do the pages layflat?
No, they will be like a traditional book with a small gutter in the center. We use a durable binding method in which the pages and cover are glued together at the spine, and the remaining edges are trimmed for a clean finish. We use one of the strongest binding adhesives available.
