Bookbinding and finishing
Exposed-spine sewn binding
The open spine reveals the sewing and folded sections as an intentional design and craft feature.
visible thread-sewn spine
How this binding works
The sections are sewn without a conventional cover over the spine, so stitch pattern, thread colour and folded edges remain visible.
The front flap is retained as part of the cover construction. Materials, adhesive zones and handling are agreed for each individual job.
