What is a "hardcover"?
A hardcover is a type of book with a rigid, durable cover, often made of cardboard or a similar material, and usually covered with cloth, leather, or a printed paper jacket. The pages are bound together and attached to the cover, providing greater protection and longevity compared to paperback books. Hardcovers are often chosen for their sturdiness and elegant appearance and are commonly used for books that are expected to be kept for a long time, such as special editions, reference books, or literary classics.
