Hard Cover Upgrade - $199

Reach a larger market by partnering your trade paperback with a hard cover version

BookSurge has raised the bar in print-on-demand publishing by offering a hard cover upgrade for your book. For an additional fee, your trade paperback can be produced as a library-quality hard cover for a truly professional look.

Note: The Hard Cover Upgrade is available to authors who submitted their work in either a manuscript or a fully-formatted print-ready PDF form. Authors who use the PDF Submission option will need to provide separate PDF files for their hard cover version. See the Hard Cover PDF Submission Specifications for more information. Please also note that hard cover titles do not carry the same availability options as trade paperback books.
