How does the page count work for perfect bound catalogs?

Perfect binding glues the pages and cover together at a flat spine, like a paperback book. It looks more finished than staples and works well for thicker catalogs.

Unlike saddle-stitched booklets, the page count of a perfect bound catalog doesn't include the cover. The cover is a separate 4-page file: outside front, inside front, inside back and outside back.

For example, if you order 52 pages, you upload 48 inside pages plus the 4-page cover. Cover and inside page templates are on the product page.
