- an association e.g. a golf club or service organisation wanting to leverage the goodwill of supporters by selling a premium book at a premium price
- a family history or personal memoir – a legacy piece for children, siblings, grandchildren and friends

2. High-end book interiors
Depending on your book’s needs and your budget, you can choose between black and white printing or colour printing. The type of paper that you choose can be also influenced by the colour treatment of your interior. Talk to your book designer and get their opinion on your book’s interior.
3. Gatefolds – family trees, corporate structures, maps and other special material
Gatefolds and special inserts can be incorporated to display and breakout special material. Family trees are often quite large and detailed and cannot fit nicely onto one or two pages. Using a gatefolds in your book allows you to feature large format or detailed images on a single spread that is folded and contained within the pages and cover of the book.
4. Slip cases
Organising a slip case for your personal project can help ensure that the volumes are protected and can stand the test of time. It also gives your project sophistication and importance.
