The only hard cover book that opens flat and beyond. Case bound books, invented circa 1500, open well, but must be held flat. Hand Made Books' exclusive invention is the Revolution Binding. This book opens flat and beyond.
Perfect for sketch books, as coils can bend and no longer function. Sewn pages do not come apart like perfect binding (glued paperbacks). This binding is as versatile as it is beautiful.
Hand Made Books specializes in the restoration of antiquarian books as well as repairing damage to modern bindings including grandmother’s cookbook.
Past commissions range from a 1725 Luther Bible to 1950's children's books and
all historic periods in between. Precious books are not only stabilized from further decay,
but are reconstructed so future generations can view, handle and enjoy as if the book were new.
