There’s something irresistibly timeless about a beautifully printed coffee table book. It doesn’t just sit on your table, it owns it. With its bold imagery, luxurious feel, and ability to tell a story without saying a word, a hardback coffee table book brings life, color, and sophistication into any space.
At Print It ZA, we know that a book can be more than pages bound together; it can be art, memory, and inspiration all in one. As a full-service Johannesburg printing company, we help brands, artists, photographers, and individuals turn their creative visions into showstopping hardback coffee table books that people can’t stop talking about.
Let’s explore what makes these books so special, why Print It ZA is the go-to choice for printing them, and how you can create a custom coffee table masterpiece of your own.
The Art of the Coffee Table Book
A coffee table book is like a conversation starter waiting to happen. It’s designed not only to be seen but also to be experienced. Each page is an invitation to dive deeper into art, travel, fashion, nature, photography, or a unique story worth telling.
The best ones balance visual storytelling with impeccable craftsmanship. From vivid, high-resolution photography to smooth, premium paper that feels amazing under your fingertips, coffee table books deliver a multisensory experience.
Print It ZA understands this better than most. Our team takes care of every detail, from layout to color accuracy, to make sure every book feels both personal and premium. With our coffee table book printing service, your ideas are brought to life in vivid color, printed with care, and finished to perfection.
When readers turn the pages of a Print It ZA book, they don’t just look, they feel.

Exploring Themes That Inspire
Coffee table books are as diverse as the people who create them. That’s why Print It ZA doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all design. We help bring your story to life, whatever it may be.
- Travel and Adventure
Our travel-themed books transport readers to breathtaking destinations across the world. Think vast mountain landscapes, ocean blues, and bustling cityscapes captured in perfect clarity. Every page feels like a ticket to somewhere new.
- Art and Design
Artists love our hardcover book printing because it lets their creativity shine. We print in vivid color and crisp definition to highlight every brushstroke, texture, and tone. Perfect for portfolios, art exhibitions, or visual storytelling.
- Fashion and Lifestyle
Fashion deserves to be printed in style. Our fashion coffee table books showcase the evolution of design, from iconic runway moments to behind-the-scenes looks at creative minds. With matte finishes, spot UV, or foil accents, every book becomes a work of art.
- Nature and Photography
If your passion is wildlife or landscape photography, our printing precision ensures every color pops naturally. Greens are lush, skies are soft, and shadows remain rich and detailed.
No matter your theme, we treat every project like a masterpiece.
Why Hardback Coffee Table Books Stand Out

When it comes to presentation, few things beat the feel of a hardback coffee table book. It’s strong, elegant, and instantly eye-catching.
- Built to Last
A hardback book’s rigid cover and stitched spine give it structure and strength. Unlike softcovers, which can bend and wear over time, hardbacks stay in pristine shape, even with constant handling.
- A Touch of Luxury
Hardcovers carry a sense of importance. They add weight, both literally and symbolically, to your content. The texture of the cover, the smooth matte or glossy finish, and the tactile sensation of quality paper make reading a physical experience.
- Perfect Protection
For books that rely heavily on imagery, a hardback cover provides better protection. The thick boards keep pages flat and uncreased, ensuring that every photo remains sharp and flawless.
So if you want your book to double as an art piece and last for years, hardback is the way to go, and that’s where Print It ZA’s hardcover expertise shines brightest.
How to Choose the Right Coffee Table Book for Your Space
A coffee table book is more than decoration; it’s a reflection of your personality and style. Here’s how to choose one that truly fits:
- Match Your Interests: Pick a theme that excites you. Love travel? Choose a book filled with destinations you dream of visiting. Into art or photography? Go for visually rich collections that inspire creativity.
- Complement Your Décor: Think of your coffee table as part of your interior design. The color and cover of the book can tie the room together or create a striking contrast.
- Look for Quality: High-quality printing and materials make all the difference. Books by Print It ZA are made with premium paper and vibrant inks that stand out beautifully on display.
A well-chosen coffee table book doesn’t just sit in your home; it enhances it.
