While we wrap the outside of the casing with a printed sheet\u2014or your chosen material such as vinyl, leatherette, or linen\u2014the interior is often left in its raw state beyond the turnover that gives the casing its neat, finished look. But the raw grayboard\u2014which has a purely structural purpose\u2014is not very attractive to look at! But when we glue the endpapers to the interior of the casing, they cover the ugly board and present a pleasing, smooth, and complete appearance. This appearance is especially enhanced if the end sheets are printed or colored.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4dcbe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b4dcbe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Add aesthetic value<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86916f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"86916f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>While it&#8217;s common to use end sheets which are plain\u2014white, off-white, or some selected color\u2014it&#8217;s also possible to print images and patterns on them.

These sheets are called &#8220;signatures&#8221;. Once we&#8217;ve cut and folded the signatures, we sew them together for strength and flexibility before layering them into what is called the &#8220;book block&#8221; (all the pages in the right order gathered together) and then we seal the block with a liner and glue the lined block into the casing and secure it with the endpapers. So, a hardcover book without endpapers would soon fall apart. The endpapers keep everything snug and secure for years, or even generations, to come.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s also quite common to add single-sheet endpapers to both the back and front of paperbacks. Although they are not a structural necessity, they provide a useful space for author signatures at book presentations. If they are meant for writing and signing dedications we recommend uncoated paper because of its higher absorbency, meaning that pens and pencils will write better on it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f3de59 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"9f3de59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M10.7,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L0.7,17L4,13.1L0,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L10.7,6z M23.9,6.6l4.2,4.5L32,7.2l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9L32,19.1l-3.9-3.3l-4.5,4.3l-2.5-1.9l4.4-5.1l-4.2-3.9L23.9,6.6zM73.5,6L76,8.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L63.5,17l4.1-4.7L63.5,8l2.3-1.3l4.1,3.6L73.5,6z M94,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4L94,20.1l-3.9-5l-3.9,4.2L84,17l3.2-3.9L84,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.2,3.9L94,6z M106.9,6l4.5,5.1l3.9-3.9l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9l-1.6,2.1l-3.9-4.2l-4.5,5.2l-2.5-1.9l4-5.4l-4-4.3L106.9,6z M53.1,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,4.6l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-4.5l-3.5,4.5L43.1,17l3.2-3.9l-4-4.5l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L53.1,6z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-924ebc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"924ebc2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to design end sheets for your book<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48f95e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48f95e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We hope it&#8217;s clear to you now that the first and final endpapers (at the front and the back respectively) are hidden as they are glued to the casing. For this reason, you can&#8217;t add designs to them. Well, you could, but it would be pointless because no one would ever see them! In any case, you may leave all the surfaces of the endpaper plain if you wish. But if you want to add visual designs to them, you can do so on the reader-facing spread and innermost page of the front and back. The single page, remember, will be glued on the innermost side to a depth of about 10 mm. You&#8217;ll need to account for that when adding your design. So, make sure to leave a 10 mm gutter to accommodate the gluing area. In terms of what you design for the visible areas of the endpapers, it can be anything printable: colors, patterns, photographs, graphics, lines, even text (although that would be unusual).<\/p><p>When preparing your end sheet design files, keep them separate from your main interior text and cover files. Give them names that make them easy for our printers to identify and understand. So, for example, call them &#8220;front-end-sheet.pdf&#8221; or &#8220;back-end-sheet-single.pdf&#8221; rather than something that makes sense to you but may not to anyone else, like, &#8220;F1.2\/new.pdf&#8221; or &#8220;DanFinalVersion. pdf&#8221;. You may be great friends with Dan and know that he&#8217;s your graphic designer, and you may know that it&#8217;s the final version of the endpapers; but our printers likely don&#8217;t know Dan and it may not be clear to them what it&#8217;s the final version of! Clear, logical file naming makes everything easier and smoother for all concerned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ad6feb elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6ad6feb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-967e864 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"967e864\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M10.7,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L0.7,17L4,13.1L0,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L10.7,6z M23.9,6.6l4.2,4.5L32,7.2l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9L32,19.1l-3.9-3.3l-4.5,4.3l-2.5-1.9l4.4-5.1l-4.2-3.9L23.9,6.6zM73.5,6L76,8.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-5.2l-3.9,4.2L63.5,17l4.1-4.7L63.5,8l2.3-1.3l4.1,3.6L73.5,6z M94,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,5.4L94,20.1l-3.9-5l-3.9,4.2L84,17l3.2-3.9L84,8.6l2.3-1.3l3.2,3.9L94,6z M106.9,6l4.5,5.1l3.9-3.9l2.3,1.3l-4,4.5l3.2,3.9l-1.6,2.1l-3.9-4.2l-4.5,5.2l-2.5-1.9l4-5.4l-4-4.3L106.9,6z M53.1,6l2.5,2.6l-4,4.3l4,4.6l-2.5,1.9l-4.5-4.5l-3.5,4.5L43.1,17l3.2-3.9l-4-4.5l2.3-1.3l3.9,3.9L53.1,6z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab1601f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ab1601f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What kind of paper is best for end sheets?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-362f784 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"362f784\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The humble endpapers have a lot of work to do and they&#8217;re an essential element of the structural integrity of the entire book.
