In terms of length, books are longer binding printing materials. Depending on the content or the binding a shorter publication can also be called book or booklet. Longer leaflets with a thick cover can also be called booklets. According to traditions or economical reasons, the size can vary. The cover can be soft or hard. The hard covered books can have another protective cover. In terms of content, the books can be novels, poetry, albums, exhibition catalogues, science related books, educational books, and books for children, etc. The inside page and the cover page should be planned closely together; however the cover page is usually more eye-catching. The cover is aimed to draw the attention of the reader and has a key role in selling the books. This is the reason why graphical aspects are more important on the cover page and typography aspects in the inner side page.
