Perfect Binding

The job I’m showing this week is a “book inside a book.” This job required perfect binding two individual books. The first (on the inside front cover) was perfect bound with an extended back cover. The second book was also perfect bound and hand glued to the back cover, with the spine at the top, for a unique presentation. Lastly, the books were folded and then packed for shipping.

This week, I’m showing you a striking hardcover book customization. This unique and visually striking book with a vibrant cloth wrapped cover has a surprise inside.

Case Binding Detached Spine

A key aspect of case bound hardcover books are the endpapers, which typically secure a bound book block to the inside of both the front and back covers. What sets this featured book apart is the book block is attached only to the inside back cover with a single endpaper.
