Book design

May 27th, 2009

Since each book will be read multiple times and be subject to rough handling,  it is not advisable to purchase paperback books for a library.  Hardcover books are more expensive, but are preferred.

The books placed on the exterior sides of library and exposed to the elements (rain , snow , sunlight ), so they should have  a  hard cover.
