Binding Types: Smyth-Sewn

Smyth-sewn binding a traditional kind of binding used still today. Pages are grouped into folded sections called signatures and stitched together with thread. It is preferred by collectors and authors because it produces a book meant to last generations.

Open a smyth-sewn book and you''ll find the book lays flat unlike modern mass produced books. Thanks to this thread structure it allows the pressure to distribute evenly through the book, allowing it to handle decades of daily use without the pages coming loose.
