BOOKS
Through the process of BookBinding today is usaually mechanized, some books are still bound by Hand.
The pages of a book are printed on large sheets of paper called sections, or signatures.
When folded, sections usually make 8, 16, or 32 pages.
To assemble a hand-bound hardback book, the binder first places the folded sections in the correct order within the endpapers.
Next, he or she sews the sections together along the spine edge using strong thread and then pastes them with glue for extra strength.
After trimming the pages, the binder puts the book in a press and hammers the spine to round it.
The binder then glues one or more linings to the spine. The cover, or case, comes last.
To make this, teh bookbinder sticks cover boards to the endpapers, front and back and then covers them with cloth or leather.
