Printing the brand book: paper, binding and the thumb index

A printed brand book lives on a shelf in the shop or the workshop, so it needs to survive coffee and thumbs (sample post).
We print on an uncoated 150 gsm stock with a sewn binding that lies flat when open, and cut a thumb index into the fore-edge so the colour pages are one move away.
Short runs of ten to twenty-five copies cost less than most people expect; ask your printer for a digital run.
