Non-adhesive Bindings

From longstitch to linkstitch, sewn on tapes or sewn through a leather spine, these bindings offer full flexibility, open completely flat, and introduce a wide range of possibilities for design. All styles have a distinctive "made by hand" look that immediately draws attention to their uniqueness. Perfect for journals, sketchbooks, or as gifts to friends.

Depending on the style of binding and materials used, non-adhesive bindings can range in price from $15-$60. However, in general these bindings cost around $25.

Ethiopian-style

My favorite style of non-adhesive binding, these books have chain stitches on the spine that link each section of the textblock to the next, and then are sewn onto boards.
