Please find below a breakdown of the paper stock you can use for your book. Premium uncoated paper at 90gsm is the equivalent of the sort of paper you would use in your home printer with a matt look finish. At the other end of the scale coated papers have a sheen to them and the higher the gsm then the thicker the paper will be. Once you know which paper you would like then you will need to calculate your spine width using our calculator.
