Again, another unusual book. The back cover, which is twice as thick as the spine is actually a folded edge that’s full surface glued to the pane of the inside front cover. The same fold out is on the front cover, partially glued open at the bottom as indicated, you can take the product in and out. Quite functional and cost-effective.
These five pictures show a distinctive method of binding a book. The pages are not three knife trimmed as we would do for any book that was going to be hardback case bound. In this situation, instead of making a one piece cover we ran two separate covers front and back, through 1 of our 2 high-speed, automatic case makers. We then glue mount full surface, front and back cover to the book block and the book is trimmed. Before the covers is applied, the cover is wrapped, but it’s meant to be flush at the head, foot and face. When the book is closed as you can see the smyth sewing thread is exposed. This is just as durable as a normal hardback case bound book. In our situation somewhat more expensive than a normal one-piece cover, hardback case bound book, but if you want something it’s just as durable and quite distinctive like this, please call us.
