The invention provides a method for manufacturing a hardcover. The method mainly comprises the three steps of bookblock processing, book case manufacturing and assembling. The step of bookblock processing includes the procedures of paper printing, printed product detection, folding, pagination, locking with lines, bundling, gluing, bonding of front lining paper and back lining paper, and the like. The step of book case manufacturing includes the procedures of face paper printing, grey board cutting, face paper technological treatment, bonding of face paper on a grey board, siding, flattening and the like. The step of assembling includes the procedures of book case gluing, book back gluing, casing of a bookblock, flattening, turning, book groove pressing, quality inspection, and encasement. The method not only keeps the characteristic that the cover of an existing hardcover is manufactured exquisitely, but also improves the three sides except for the book back of a book through a gold stamping mode. The delicacy and grade of the hardcover are remarkably improved, the turning resistance frequency is improved, and the hardcover is easy to store.
