Tight Back Binding-
for
distinguished, thicker, rounded-spine books. This hard-back binding style is best for thicker texts (100+ sheets/200+ pages). Title and/or images can be inlaid or printed on the cover. Involves formatting the text into sections. Text printed on both sides of the sheets. Read more below. You choose the color of the Cover Paper and the Spine Canvas. Ribbon Page Markers optional. Page Paper: We have a variety of papers available for the pages. Our standards are white or cream/off white, 90 gm, no texture. However, feel free to consult other weights and textures. Deckled (hand-torn) foredges are also an option. See below. 
 THE TIGHT BACK BINDING PROCESS: (An abbreviated overview) Once the book block is formatted, printed, and folded into sections, the sections are sewn together over recessed cords. The stitches cannot be seen in the finished book, but they run pristinely up and down the spine, through the sections, over the recessed cords. The book spine is glued, rounded by hand, and reinforced with mull (a binding gauze). The book block is then firmly attached to the covers.  FORMATTING AND PRINTING THE CONTENT 
 The book block (the pages of the book) is made up of folded sections. Each folded section has 3 to 6 sheets of paper, folded in half. Each folded sheet of paper is 4 pages of the book. --If you are not familiar with desktop publishing, but you are interested in this binding style, we can format and print your content for you appropriately so that it can be folded and bound in sections. --If you are familiar with desktop publishing, and can format your content in the appropriate sections (or booklets as some programs call them), all we would need to do is let you know our specs for binding pre-formatted and pre-printed material (margins, number of pages in each section/booklet, etc). DECKLED FOREDGES are also an option (The outside edge of the book block is hand-torn) 
 Within our three custom binding styles, the design options are infinite. We work extensively with each client to determine the most appropriate binding design for the content of the book and for the needs of the author. We use acid-free archival quality materials and adhere to a high standard of craftsmanship. |
