Executed in single or double cord versions, the cords are wrapped to the front and back covers, providing several opportunities
for an elegant cover detail. Each binding is made up of a series of cords (usually 3 to 5) along the spine and is sewn
with colored and waxed Irish linen thread. Cords can be made of several materials including hemp, organza or grossgrain ribbon, silk cords,
or wire. Because the binding can be seen on the spine, complementary colors are chosen for the cover paper, cord material, and thread.
This binding was self taught several years ago from Keith A. Smith's book Non-adhesive Binding, Books without Paste or Glue.
