SIDE SEWING
Another method of binding the pages of a hard back book is called side-sewing with thread. We intentionally apply the thread very close to the binding edge of the spine. This particular process is very environmentally, friendly and, Iies reasonably flat.
When the book is “opened” the user can see the thread, which in the situation of wire, saddle, stitching, or box ditching, you can’t see how was bound when you open the page is up.

This environmentally friendly method of taking single sheets and casing them into a hardback book cover; environmentally, friendly, very durable. Negatives are they don’t lay flat. Side sewing is much more costly than perfect binding. However, if you have a single sheet book, you want bounded the most environmentally, friendly way possible, more durable than perfect binding side sewing might be the answer.
