Cased-in Coptic Books
The Coptic
link stitch binding is a historical binding that looks surprisingly
modern. It is named for the chains of sewing stitches linking across the
spine. The books are quick to sew, flat when open, constructed without glue and are
very sturdy. Today, the best known Coptic books leave the sewing and the spine uncovered, as in the photo below.
A historical alternative is to case-in the books, as in the top photo, resulting in books that
look like conventional hardcovers but are still quick to sew, and open
flat. The class models include a paper case book and a cloth case
book. Options include pleated endpapers, sewing through the spine cover
and cutting strategic windows to see the stitches. Bring a $20 material fee with you to
class.
