Both the softcover and hardcover editions are printed in full colour. The hardcover version also features high-quality paper for a premium feel. Unfortunately, we are unable to reduce the price of the hardcover due to KDP’s minimum pricing policy. I recommend choosing the softcover for a more budget-friendly option - plus, the proceeds will support a noble cause as mentioned above.
