What is flexibound book?

A flexibound book is a type of bookbinding that combines elements of both hardcover and paperback books. The cover is typically made of a flexible material, such as vinyl or faux leather, which gives it some durability while still allowing it to be more flexible than a traditional hardcover.

Flexibound books often have a sewn binding, which is stronger and more durable than a glued binding commonly found in paperback books. This makes them ideal for books that will be used frequently or need to withstand wear and tear.

Flexibound books are also often more affordable than hardcover books, making them a popular choice for publishers looking for a middle ground between the two formats. They are commonly used for reference books, travel guides, cookbooks, and other genres where durability is important.

Overall, flexibound books offer the best of both worlds - the durability of a hardcover book with the flexibility and affordability of a paperback.
