An ideal workshop for those with some bookbinding experience. This workshop is taught by Simon Goode, founder and co-director of LCBA.

This uniqe binding style, called Sewn Boards Binding, was developed and adapted from historical binding structures by by book conservator Gary Frost. Unlike a case binding, the covers (or boards) of the book are sewn at the same time as the sections, leaving neat, flush edges. The binding opens neatly, lying completely flat when fully open. For this reason it is also particularly suited to binding thicker papers.

The book is perfectly suited for making at home as it requires limited equipment.
