Much of the material in this book was drawn from Wikipeida, the Free Encylopedia.

Describe the difference between the following binding methods:
- Perfect binding A paperback or soft cover book consists of a number of signatures or individual leaves between covers of much heavier paper, glued together at the spine with a strong flexible glue; this is sometimes called perfect binding. Mass market paperbacks and pulp paperbacks are small (16mo size), cheaply made and often fall apart after much handling or several years.
- Hard bound A hardbound or hard cover book has rigid covers and is stitched in the spine. Looking from the top of the spine, the book can be seen to consist of a number of signatures bound together. When the book is opened in the middle of a signature, the binding threads are visible. Modern hardcover books are typically of octavo size, though they are often smaller or larger.
- Single signature
- Spiral (metal and plastic) A spiral-bound book is made of individual sheets, each with a line of holes punched near the bound edge. A metal or plastic spiral wire is fed through the holes to hold the sheets together. Spiral binding allows a book to be disassembled and reassembled by hand without damage.
- Saddle stitch Stapling through the center fold, also called saddle-stitching, joins a set of nested folios into a single magazine issue. Most American comic books fall into this category.
Perform the following
Bind a single signature hand binding "manuscript".
Bind a blank book using at least four signatures and a permanent cloth hard board binding, using a "case" method.
The proper way to "break-in" a new binding.
Make a "slip case" for your blank book of at least four signatures.
Identify and describe the uses for the following binder's tools:
- Bone folder
- Kick press
- Folding needle
- Awls
- Sewing frame
- Squared card
- Punch
Define the difference of paper weight in relationship to a ream of paper.
Describe the color and properties of three types of adhesives using in the binding process and where they are used:
- Hot melt animal glue
- Casing-in paste
- Resin glues
