Binding Method

Initially, I wanted to bind the catalogue by sewing a single thread through, giving it a nice tactile finish to the catalogue. I needed to test it out to see how the pages would attach and how accurate the bind would be.

I tested out booklets, each with increasing number of spreads to test the amount of paper the bind could handle ranging from 8, 10 and 12 sheets.

Saddle stitch with staple; I found that although I did like the stitch with thread, I didn't really fit well in context of the library shop. Instead I binded another book of 10 sheets of paper with a stapler, which delivers the same results but with more subtlety, something that seems to work better in relation to the context of the catalogue.
