Board book

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A board book is a type of book printed on thick paperboard. The paperboard is printed and used for both the cover and the interior pages. Each page panel is a minimum of two plies of paperboard thickness. Unlike a typical paper book that is bound with saddle stitching (staples) or perfect binding, a board book's pages are specially folded and bound together. Board books are very durable and consequently intended for small children, who often tend to be less gentle with books.[citation needed] Most of the board books produced in the world are produced in China and Mexico; however, there is one board book printer still located in the United States.[citation needed]
