Authors in the Media

We had the pleasure of collaborating with Ajay Bhal Amrit on his outstanding 260‑page coffee table book, SPORTS, HOLLYWOOD & BOLLYWOOD.

Working together from start to finish was a genuinely rewarding experience. Ajay’s attention to detail, combined with his passion for storytelling and visual impact, resulted in a beautifully documented publication that truly celebrates sport and cinema across cultures.

We love working with authors who are committed to excellence and helping them bring their books into the world with professionalism, care, and creative integrity.

At Angel Key Publications, we specialise in the production of premium hardcover and coffee table books, crafted to showcase your work at its very best.

Our case‑bound hardcover books feature vibrant, high‑colour gloss covers or elegant dust jackets, delivering a refined, professional finish.

Our hardcover printing service combines exceptional quality with affordability, ensuring dependable, professional results for every project.

We print hardcover books in quantities ranging from 10 to 100,000, supporting authors, artists, photographers, and publishers across Australia.

We offer multiple hardcover book printing options to suit a wide range of self‑publishing needs, ensuring your coffee table or hardcover book is printed and published to a professional standard.

We also offer a tailored self‑publishing package, designed to include only the services you need. This may include professional support alongside selected DIY components, depending on your preferences. You retain 100% copyright ownership of your coffee table or hardcover book at all times.

A coffee table book is a term commonly used for a case‑bound hardcover book. These books are printed on high‑quality paper stock specifically chosen to reproduce full‑colour images and fine detail.

Hardcover books are case‑bound, meaning they feature rigid protective covers rather than a flexible paperback spine. The design and production setup for a hardcover book is more detailed and technical than for a paperback.

Visually, hardcover coffee table books are true showpieces. The result is a premium, long‑lasting publication that stands out; however, hardcover printing costs are typically up to twice the cost of paperback printing, reflecting the materials, binding, and finishing involved.

You choose the final book size, page count, and cover style for your case‑bound hardcover. A printed proof of your finished book is supplied for approval, providing complete peace of mind before final production.

Hardcover & Coffee Table Book Explainded

Your design choices and printing budget will significantly influence the final outcome of your hardcover book. A hardcover (hardback or hardbound) coffee table book features rigid covers, typically made from cardboard and wrapped in cloth, heavy paper, or specialised materials.

Hardcover books are available with glued spines or section‑sewn bindings, depending on page count and intended use.

Books can be produced in a wide variety of sizes, thicknesses, cover stocks, and binding styles. If you request a specific binding, the printer will advise on the most suitable option for durability and presentation.

Many hardcover books are printed on acid‑free paper, offering superior longevity compared with paperback books.

Optional cover and binding finishes include spot UV, embossing, foiling, glittering, flocking, and laminated coatings. Binding styles may include perfect binding or section sewing, depending on the structure of the book.

What Our Authors say...

Age was no barrier for the staff here. The team went above and beyond in terms of care. I successfully published my third book here. My order of books arrived within weeks of my initial book proof being approved. My books are so perfect.
