The composition of book printing design cover [Buke printing]

Due to the different binding forms of publications, the composition of the cover also varies. The cover of a book or magazine for horseback riding includes four pages: front cover (cover one), back cover (cover two), back cover (cover three), and back cover (cover four). In addition to the four parts mentioned above, paperback books and magazines also have a book back section located between the cover and back cover. Some paperback books have rings and cuffs (the part of the cover and back that folds inward from the outside of the book core, usually about 4-5mm wide). There are many forms of cover composition for hardcover books, and most hardcover books have the same composition as paperback books, except for the hard cover. Some hardcover books come with envelopes and letter covers. The hard cover of a hardcover book, also known as a book case, has two types of book backs: flat back and curved back, respectively called flat back and round back. After the hard shell cover is connected to the book block, the edge of the cover should extend approximately 2-4mm beyond the three edges of the book block, and this excess is called the floating mouth.

Regardless of the form of the cover, the cover (cover one) is always a part of the main body, and it should be printed with at least three parts of text: the title of the book, the author's name, and the publisher. At least the standard book number, barcode, and pricing of the book should be printed on the back cover (back cover four). The second and third envelopes can be blank or printed with relevant content. A cover with a ring lining, which can be blank or printed with patterns and text.

The connecting part between the first cover and the fourth cover is called the spine of the book, commonly known as the "back of the book". The national standard GB11668-1989 "Rules for spine of books and other publications" specifies the form and content of spine. When the thickness (back width) of the book is greater than or equal to 5mm, the main title and publisher's name (or graphic symbol) should be designed and printed on it. If the layout allows, the translator's name should also be added, and the subtitle and other content can also be added. If it is a series publication, the spine should include the title of the book, the publisher's name, and if the layout allows, the total title and volume number can also be added. For multi volume publications, the spine name should include the overall title, volume number, and publisher name of the multi volume publication, but not the volume name. The spine names of journals and their bound volumes should include the journal name, volume number, and publication year. The spine name should be arranged vertically or horizontally. If the publication is too thin and the spine thickness is less than 5mm, and no content is printed on the spine, the relevant content (except for the publisher's name) can be printed no more than 15m next to the edge of the spine (at this time, the spine name is changed to the edge name). Other content, such as spine and edge names, should generally be arranged vertically. Regardless of the spine or edge name, it should be consistent with the name on the cover or title page (except for publisher names that use patterns), and there should be no changes in text or wording. If the spine name contains foreign language or Chinese Pinyin, it should be printed according to foreign language conventions.
