What is an end sheet?
End sheets are the pieces of paper glued to the inside of your hardcover book’s front and back cover. They attach to the bound-together pages (the page block) and hold the page block to the hardcover case.
Can end sheets have content printed on them?
Our end sheets can't be designed on or printed on.
