The only hard cover book that opens flat and beyond. Case bound books, invented circa 1500, open well, but must be held flat. Hand Made Books' exclusive invention is the Revolution Binding. This book opens flat and beyond.
Perfect for sketch books, as coils can bend and no longer function. Sewn pages do not come apart like perfect binding (glued paperbacks). This binding is as versatile as it is beautiful.
Acid free, 100% recycled paper is cut to size on a 1909 Chandler & Price paper cutter.
A quire of sheets is folded in half to create signatures.
Sewing stations are punched in the fold of the signature.
Signatures are hand sewn together with linen thread into a text block.
A cover is assembled with 100% acid free book boards and cotton or linen material.
The text block is hand bound into the “case” or assembled cover.
The book is pressed, dried and a coating of finish is applied to the cover paper.
All elements of the book are 100% recycled, acid free and archival to 70 plus years.
