Single Section Binding - A Free Manual

Vol.IV An elegant solution to the problem of the Single Section book binding.

single section bindinng I hope this little manual will be of use to anyone who has been faced with the problem of how to neatly deal with the problem of single section bindings.

The problems arise because of the fact that with a single section you cannot form shoulders on the book.

Most other methods of dealing with a single section result in drag on the hinge area and never function in the way a book with shoulders will.

I did not intend this manual to be for the complete novice, though the structure is simple enough it does call for some experience of handling basic hand tools, rather I hope this book structure will appeal to those who have encountered this problem before and do not know this method of dealing with it.

I received my equipment. Wow, the quality is astounding I don't know where in the states I could get tools made this well. The large laying press and finishing press are massive and the sewing frame is to die for. I guess old world craftmanship still lives. I am glad I bought from you instead of buying in America just to get it fast. To have the equipment (made and) delivered within 30 days was not too long to wait. Frank

I received the type holder yesterday, it actually arrived quicker than I thought it would.

Thank you for all your help and for the great customer service, really appreciate it. Bruno

The DVD's arrived last week and I have been glued to the tv screen. I have been busy sharpening my knives the way the DVD teaches, and it works! Great to have really sharp knives. Mac

Just a thank you for your excellent tutorial on clasp making -wonderful. Thanks so much. You're really generous to share your knowledge and skill with us youngsters. Tony

I had to write and thank you for your help during the last month, you guided me to a teacher near me and now I am actualy enroled on a 1 year part time bookbinding course. Thank you so much for your efforts. Ratchel

The equipment arrived safe and sound, it looks wonderful I can't wait to try it. Thank you for being so helpful. Louise

The article on calf marbling was awesome, when you get around to publishing your book, put me down for a copy. Jake

I just wanted to say thank you for being so patient with me over my choice of bookbinding press, so nice not to be subjected to the hard sell. Mary
