Flexcover — handy to take along

A Flexcover or flexicover is book bounded with flexible soft cover, but using same method as hardcover. Flexi bound or dutch binding is a certain kind of intermediary option between case bound and soft cover. The cover is made of thick art card instead of mounting on a cardboard. It looks like thin case bound cover and has greater longevity and higher perceived value than softcover.

Furthermore, dutch binding has its own special advantages. A Flexcover book is also lighter than a normal hardcover book so it is handy to take it along with you. This makes flexcover very popular for study books, notebooks, travel guides or various handbooks. Novels are also often made with flexible soft cover, the dust jacket may also be added.
