Limp Paper Binding
Limp vellum bindings first appeared in the 15^th Century, and paper bindings closely followed due to the new technology of printing. Limp bindings were simpler.  They are sturdy and open easily.  The binding process is relatively quick.  Many limp-bound books survived the flooding in Florence, Italy, in the mid-1960s.

The text block for this book is sewn onto double leather thongs with end bands at the head and tail of the book.  The folded paper cover is laced on with the thongs.  You will “age” the paper for the book cover by manipulating, tinting, and laminating sheets.  This is a beautiful historic structure with a variety of contemporary adaptations.
