OUGD504 - Studio Brief 03 - Research (Binding)

This book is a Japanese stab binding. By binding a book this way it allows you to create each page differently, even using different paper stocks and sizes. The pages need to be aligned the same for this binding to work. The disadvantage for this book is that this method does not allow for the book to be open fully without closing in on itself. 

This is a binding that is not seen very often. Although the name of this binding couldn't be found it is something that would be interesting to make. This binding looks like it is consisting of 3 small books being produced separately to be bound together using this technique.
