binding process
The two major divisions of BOOKBINDING , which
are FORWARDING and
FINISHING (1) .
Forwarding entails the binding operations, which
are the work of the bookbinder; finishing includes
decoration and embellishment of the outside (and
sometimes the insides of the boards) surfaces of
the covers (including the creation of the design),
and is the work of the artist. Both operations may
be, and frequently are, especially in the United
States and Great Britain, performed by the same
person.
