Choose the cover by the impression you want the book itself to make. Matte Black has a smooth, neutral finish that keeps every eye on the work — the default for gallery and client presentations. Textured Hardcover has a rigid, executive feel that reads more formal, well suited to business and professional settings. A third option, Recycled Paperboard, gives a natural, minimalist look at a friendlier price and adds a spine label holder for shelving — a common student and everyday choice. All three share the identical multiring interior and 30-page capacity, so this decision is purely about finish.
For size, match the book to your paper or print format. Each size is built to a standard format, so the sheet protectors fit that size of work exactly — a 14"x17" book holds 14"x17" prints or mounting sheets, an 8.5"x11" book holds letter-size work, and so on. Matte Black comes in four sizes, from 8.5"x11" to 17"x22"; Textured Hardcover and Recycled Paperboard both run through six sizes, 8.5"x11" up to 18"x24". If you want extra room around the image rather than a full-bleed fit, you can step up one size, but it isn't necessary — the book is designed to match your paper format directly.
