How Do You Choose the Best Hardcover Printing Option?

[benbeker]

I’m getting ready to print my book in hardcover, and I didn’t realize how many choices there are paper quality, binding, durability, and cost all seem important. It’s honestly a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what really matters most. Has anyone here used hard cover book printing services and learned something useful from the experience? I’d really appreciate suggestions on what to prioritize when printing a hardcover book.
