Fascinating Bookbinding Facts
Traditional bookbinding is a precise craft that combines folding paper sheets into groups called signatures, sewing them together with strong thread, and attaching durable protective covers. Before modern automated machines were invented, binding a single encyclopedia or leather album required hours of manual labor by skilled craftspeople.
