It is the first question schools ask. Here is the short answer and the reasoning.
Hardback
- Feels like a keepsake and lasts on a shelf
- Cover can carry foil, embossing and full colour
- Costs a little more per copy

Softback
- Lighter and easier to carry and sign
- Lower price per copy
- Better for very large year groups or tighter budgets
What AerEthos offers
Classic comes in softback at €30 and hardback at €33. Signature is €35 softback and €40 hardback, and Legacy is €50. With the Vision digital archive, prices are €38, €45 and €60. The school pays nothing for the books because students buy their own.
Our view
If the budget allows, a hardback is what students keep for decades. The difference per copy is small compared with how long the book lasts.
