This book is a step-by-step guide to an attractive and reversible binding process that has the added advantage of ensuring that the book can be opened easily.. The envelope binding has been the focus of bookbinder and designer Clara Gevaert's research. As a result, she has developed a new technique for producing a split-board paper binding made up of folds, joins and superpositions and insertions of the paper. This technique combines rigour and creative freedom.. Suitable for all levels, this user-friendly manual includes suggestions for different variants to make the most of the aesthetic possibilities offered by this technique..
