The basic structure of a book is: book cover and book block. Book covers can be divided into hardcover books and paperback books.
Hardcover is to add a protective cover outside the cover, which is slightly larger than the book block, which can better protect the book. The cover of a paperback book is as high as the book block. After a long time, paper is easily damaged.
The binding of a book is like the decoration of a person or a house. It should be both protective and beautiful. Material, size, color, every detail can show a sense of design.
0 1, book cover
Also called cover, cover and book cover.
The cover is the appearance of the book, and it is wrapped outside the book block for protection. The paper is thick and printed with bound pictures and texts.
Book covers can generally be divided into five parts: front cover (front cover 1, front cover and back cover), inner page (front cover 2, back cover, usually blank page), back cover (back cover 3, inner page of back cover), back cover (back cover 4, back cover) and spine (back cover).

Soft paper covers can also have front and back cuffs, which are the extra parts of the cover folded into the book. The front and rear necking not only increases the firmness of the front cover and the bottom seal, but also keeps the front cover flat, stiff and not curled.

The book cover (cover) is made of hard materials (cardboard), paper, fabric and other materials. Because the texture is hard and slightly larger than the book block, its function of protecting the book block is obviously better than that of the soft paper cover.
When a book lies flat, the first thing we see is the cover; If placed vertically, the first thing we see is the spine of the book. Therefore, the design of cover is very important. It must be attractive enough to make people curious to open it.

Cover design generally follows the principle of "addition and subtraction". Plus is to attract more people through as many design elements as possible. Subtraction is to make people remember more by expressing less.
The color, font, pattern and material of the cover should not only match the content of the book, but also convey information. More importantly, it should have a sense of design, so that people want to see and buy it.
02. Book block
Block is the text of a book, which generally includes two parts: text and auxiliary text. The text is the main content of the article. Auxiliary text refers to the auxiliary part outside the main text, including ring lining and title page (also known as title page).
Ring lining is the lining paper between the cover and the book block, also called butterfly page. One side is attached to the back of the cover, and the other side is attached to the binding of the book block. The front lining is called the front ring lining and the rear lining is called the rear ring lining.
Ring pages are an indispensable part of hardcover books. Hardcover books must be lined with front and back rings, and paperback books can also be lined with front and back rings. This not only protects the book, but also establishes a spatial transition, which gives people a clear and comfortable feeling visually and allows readers to get peace before reading.

The title page is the page behind the ring and before the text, also known as the title page, including the main title page and the attached title page. It is the main recognition part of books, and it is also an indispensable part of books.

The main function of the title page (main title page) is to protect the text, copy or supplement the cover and enhance the aesthetic feeling of the book. Its content is more detailed than the cover, including the title of the book, the name of the author and the details of the publishing house. The style of the title page should be the same as that of the cover, but it should be different to avoid duplication with the cover.
