Scope and Contents

From the Series:

A skewer binding utilizes a skewer as the anchor for sewing or tying on. Adding the skewer adds bulk to the spine of the binding. The artist may also create a staggered skewer binding, meaning that they alternate between where the holes are on the spine of the book. This is also known as a piano hinge binding.
