double-stitched binder
A commercial type of "binder" sometimes used for
in-house repair of books. It consists of two
lengths of heavy cloth sewn together along two
parallel lines, the distance between them being
approximately the thickness of the book to be
recased. Each layer is gummed on the outside
surface. The spine of the book is attached to one
layer of cloth along with the new endpapers, while
the other side is attached to the inlay and
boards. The standard widths (between rows of
sewing) ranges between 1/4 inch and 3 inches. (138 )
