Soft-spine book with multi-signature. Tacketing. Substituting concertina with tapes
Scope and Contents
A long stitch binding is where the thread runs along the spine of a book creating vertical lines. This technique can be sewn through the cover, or on leather strips. You can also manipulate the long thread into a pattern or knot them. Hard or soft covers can be used as well, but generally, the spine is left soft so the book may open.
