Scrollgebonden

Scrollgebonden is a term used to describe a type of bookbinding where the pages of a book are sewn together along the spine using a needle and thread, rather than being glued or stapled. This traditional method of binding is known for its durability and the unique sound it produces when the pages are turned. The process involves sewing the pages through the holes punched along the spine, creating a strong and flexible spine that can withstand repeated use. Scrollgebonden books are often characterized by their elegant appearance and the absence of visible stitches on the outside of the book, as the sewing is done on the inside of the spine. This type of binding is commonly used for books that require a high level of durability, such as textbooks, reference books, and books used in libraries. The term "scrollgebonden" is derived from the Dutch language, where "scroll" refers to the rolled-up sheets of paper that are sewn together to form the book. The process of scrollgebonden bookbinding has been used for centuries and continues to be a popular method among bookbinders and collectors alike.
