Bookbinding techniques

Bookbinding is the process of assembling a book's pages and covering. Common techniques include: 1. **Saddle Stitching**: Folding pages in half and stapling along the fold, often used for magazines. 2. **Perfect Binding**: Gluing together the spine of multiple pages and attaching a cover, typical for paperbacks. 3. **Case Binding**: Sewing the pages together, then attaching them to a hard cover, used for durable books. 4. **Long Stitch Binding**: A decorative method where the cover is sewn directly to the pages, allowing for flexibility. Each method offers different aesthetics and durability suited for various types of books.
