And this is timely since today's topic is unique ways to bind pages...
Just yesterday Monica Langwe, a Swedish artist, papermaker and bookbinder, wrote to introduce us to her new book Limp Bindings.
She presents a study of the historical limp binding method that was used to construct books with flexible covers, usually of cloth, leather, or vellum. Monica details eleven books from the enormous Vatican Library that were bound with ingenious variations of the technique. This is followed by a gallery of new books created by eleven book artists from around the world, each inspired by a limp bound medieval book.
