It’s a bit dry and can be overly technical at times, but this video shows how a mass produced hardback book is manufactured (with several cover treatments).
Note: We’re posting this purely as an example of book manufacturing, not as an endorsement of Dan Brown or his books.

Thanks for posting this, Nick. Even those of us who provide art for covers don’t often get into the facilities that produce these top-drawer covers and books. (Again, no endorsement of the content of this one!)
People should know that potentially all of the special effects used on the book in the video are available (though not inexpensive) for self-publishers too.
