[QUOTE="ART!, post: 9029841, member: 79926"] Printing is printing, obviously, so the inside front and facing page is essentially 2 pages of printing. On top of that there's going to be a fee for binding/affixing it. Multiple that by 2 for the inside back cover and facing page. Multiply that by your print run. We don't print hardcover books where I work, but it can't be cheap, and since some publishers don't put anything there, I assume it costs enough that just the hardcovers alone cost plenty. On soft cover (paperback) books, printing on the inside covers is going to cost twice the price of printing on just the outside. This kind of thing adds up real fast. Most publishers probably aren't doing print runs big enough to get really good price breaks, so these kinds of extras aren't worth it. But for bigger print runs with bigger price breaks, these extras become less cost-prohibitive. [/QUOTE]
