extra options
In addition to the standard elements that you have to choose from when composing a book, such as the paper type or the cover type of the book, there are also a number of extra options that you can add. A colored endpaper, sign tape or headband are not essential, but an option to make your own book even more beautiful and functional! You will find these options in step 7 of our online price calculator.
