Smyth Sewn Binding

Smyth sewn refers to the centuries old book binding technique. Books that are smyth sewn are library quality and are constructed to last. Smyth sewn books are durable and made to be handled a lot and open flat.

This process was done by hand until American inventor David McConnel Smythe invented a machine to sew the signatures together in 1879. Nowadays the stitched together text block is often glued on the spine to keep the thread in place and sometimes further reinforced by gluing a piece of fabric over thread on the spine. Head bands and foot bands made of decorative ribbon are sometimes glued to the top and bottom of the pages to further beautify the binding and hide stitching and glue.
