Swiss-bound book with exposed spine case and page template

A casebound book with three wrapped cover boards, hinge gaps, endpaper liner, inset page block and headbands. Export the mitred case wrap, liner and board/page-block trim references. Select an editable interior spread with curved facing leaves resting on split bound stacks. Use the bindery’s confirmed spine and hinge dimensions; facing-page trims are graphic references and interior-page imposition is separate. A ready-sized preset of the hardcover book — adjust the object dimensions and decoration area to preview your artwork at size.
