Book #240

Hollow Tube Rebinding

Today's book is another example of a rebound perfect-bound paperback, this time made with a hollow tube to create a rounded spine. False bands, split boards. Quarter leather and my own marbled paper.

German Paper Binding 7

Another German Paper Binding variant today, and this time the difference is something I can show in the photo. Today's book was made with a hollow spine - which you can see in the top photograph. (I used a tube to make the hollow -- but upon further investigation, the tube is not typical on this kind of binding.) Otherwise, most of the structural elements are the same as previous versions. I like this refinement; this might be my favorite.

Hollow Tube Binding

This book was made with a hollow tube binding. Incorporating a hollow tube as part of the spine lining creates an effective opening action.
