Bill Jones' Notes from the Turning Shop

144 pp. Tightly bound. Spine not compromised. Black covers no longer show as glossy as when new. The red type face on the spine shows light fading. Text is free of markings. No ownership markings. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding.
