Book binding
How are hardback books bound?
Pages are glued into the hard cover book spine using the PUR binding method, a form of perfect binding. This provides a strong and durable finish, ensuring your hardback book is able to stand the test of time.
Can this product lay flat?
We do not recommend this product should you want to lay the book flat. For this feature we would recommend Wire, Comb, Velo or Hardback wire binding.
