Today I had my first session in Vernon Street print room on how to book bind. Initially we had the opportunity to have a look through a variety of mock up books bound in various ways. Here are a few examples:
Full section bind: This is a pretty standard bind, and you have the choice of either a flat or rounded spine. It can be nice to add a dust jacket to these, or put in a box case, and you should consider and plan the layout and order of your pages before you print and bind.
Japanese bind: Very simple and Good for photo albums.
Coptic bind: Folded sections, exposed spine that has been stitched over.
Childrens board book: A consertina, with all images printed on one side and the other sides stuck together to create a small book.
There are also tools you can use such as the corner cutter and paper folder. We were reminded that it important to make a mock up of your book before you bind your final prints.
