Custom Fine Cloth Bindings - Bookbinding
A fun way to preserve your novel or dissertation or any form of personal writing is to have it bound in a custom cloth binding. It is much less expensive than having it bound in leather and the final product is just as beautiful. As with the example in the video, you can use what ever art work or titleing to be inlayed in the cover as the spine is usually pretty thin. I was able to do a short lenthwise label on mine, so that it can be identified on the shelf. http://book-restoration.com

Your videos have been very helpful in gaining alternate perspectives in binding, Amanda. I want to thank you for spending time to share your knowledge. My lovely uncle passed away without being able to teach me all he knew, so I am on my own now in binding and trying to fill in skill gaps.
ReplyDeleteI have recently completed a reback in cloth, and was wondering if you might be able to make suggestions - feeback is valuable. Here's the link:

Of course, not all info and pics are here, but it's an idea of what was done.
With thanks and admiration,
