BOOKS WITH TAPED SPINES

Books with Taped Spines

This week, I’m showcasing an unusual bindery add-on for perfect bound and Smythe sewn books. The first page of the book is mounted to the inside front cover and the last page is mounted to the inside back cover. Then, to stabilize the spine, adhesive-backed cloth or embossed paper (both of which come in numerous colours) is wrapped around the spine.

The images above show a taped spine on a PMC / High Die Shaped book.

The image above shows a book with a corrugated cover and a silver taped spine.

The journals shown above have two variations of black tape on the spines.

The book shown above is an example embossed paper used as “spine tape.”

The book shown above is an example of cloth being used as “spine tape.”
