Our softcover book is HARDLY softcover! We went the extra mile with a 130# cover weight paper so that you still get our book that will last in your family that you can pass down through the generations, and that’s what we wish for you. Each page is full color illustrated on the highest quality, beautiful heavy weight, satin cover paper. We took the extra step in the final process to go with Smyth Sewn Bindery, instead of conventional gluing so this cherished book and the message of conservation stays with your family for years to come!
