I do like exploring different bookbinding styles and this one intrigued me for a while before I had a go. It’s really intriguing because the spine woven into the covers.

Full description

This style of binding was invented in the mid 1980’s by Anne Goy, a Belgian bookbinder, who was seeking an alternative to the Japanese ‘stab binding’ techniques, but which would allow the book to open flat.

This version of the book is A5 in landscape orientation (approx. 15.5 cm wide and 10.5cm wide).

The cover paper is what I call ‘roll off paper’ which is the paper I use to clean my roller when I'm having a printing session – nothing wasted!

The inside pages are 140gsm cartridge.

I have used waxed blue linen thread for the binding.
