1) Modified Sewn-Bord Binding 17 &18 april 2012, 19&20 october 2012
Originally developed by conservator Gary Frost in the USA this is a versatile binding that uses very little adhesive and that is equally attractive in combinations of paper, cloth or leather covers. Lori Sauer has used it extensively on fine bindings, and has made various modifications to the attachment of the spine, including one with wood.
As its name suggests, the ‘boards’ are sewn on at either end of the text-block. The resulting binding opens flat and has no squares. It has unsupported sewing, a sound construction and offers a refreshing change from other styles of binding as well as providing an alternative format for design

2) A removable case 19 & 20 oktober 2012.(see picture)
Developed as a non-intrusive binding for a Tomorrow’s Past exhibition, this structure has uses that reach beyond those needed purely for old texts. It incorporates a stub in the spine, and a case made with a special hinge. The case is attached to the text block with vellum straps that slot together. It’s a simple principle that will suit a range of text blocks. The spine can be flat or rounded and the book opens easily. There is easy access to the text if pages need removing and the case can be changed or repaired separate from the text block.
