Bookbinding Core 4 :: Classic Rounded Back Cloth Binding

In this structure students will learn to lace cords into the boards used for sewing the book. After sewing, the book will be rounded and backed before the boards are attached and covered. More terms, more tools, more techniques: such are the rewards of the skilled bookbinder!
