Different Ways Of Binding Books
One of the most interesting facts about binding books is that there are so many different ways to do it. To those less knowledgeable on the subject, book binding services would seem to be pretty basic and non-unique; in other words, most people just assume there is only one universal way to do it. The fact is this couldn't be farther from the truth.
Binding books, by definition, is simply the process of taking a series of paper sheets and assembling them into a book. However, what many are not aware of is that process can be concocted in a series of different ways. The truth is, there are dozens upon dozens of different book binding services techniques, and in this article we're going to discuss a few of the more well-known ones.
One of the most well known bookbinding techniques is called Coptic binding. Started as early as 2nd century AD, Coptic book binding got its name as it was the predominant technique for binding books for the earliest of Christians in Egypt (a group of people known as "the Copts"). The style was described as having the sections of paper (or in early Egypt, more often papyrus) sewn together through their folds. In the event that the book had more than one section, a chain stitch could be used as well. For those extraordinarily knowledgeable when it comes to binding books, a single-section Coptic binding is typically known as "Nag Hammadi bindings." Binding books in this matter does not require any adhesive.
The Coptic style is still used today, and if it is built without a cover the book can open to 360-degrees. Of the original Coptic binding books created y the Christian Copts between the 2nd and 11th century AD, 120 original intact pieces are still in existence, with approximately 500 remnants still available.
There is Long-stitch bookbinding, which gets its name because sections of the book are literally sewn together. While a book binding services company may use glue if they were conducting a long-stitch bookbinding, traditionally it doesn't use any. The long-stitch was developed in Germany during the medieval era, when parchment covered books had sections stitched together through holes in materials cover. With lots of ways to elaborate and use, the long-stitch bookbinding technique is still seen today, often in office environments.
There is also the Ethiopian style of binding books. Similar to the Coptic book binding method, the Ethiopian style involves a chain stitch. Traditionally, a book that was bound by the Ethiopian technique has a cover made of wood, and the binder uses as many sewing needles as there are sewing stations.
