About DuraBooks Press and Reviews FAQ Contacts Credits Links Melcher Media		FAQ What's a DuraBook? DuraBooks are highly durable, waterproof books. Melcher Media’s DuraBook patent covers a method for producing bound waterproof books — the only standard binding available for waterproof books. What kind of paper do you use? DuraBooks are printed on a synthetic paper. Where can I buy the paper? If you are interested in paper only, try contacting a domestic supplier such as Yupo. They carry a stock similar to that used in DuraBooks. What DuraBook services does Melcher Media offer?
