O Miolo do Livro
A bilingual manual (English & Portuguese) on industrial bookbinding, compiling the most common techniques and what you can do with them. Built for quick consultation. A bookbinding manual of techniques thoroughly illustrated.
Developed to be a quick consultation manual on industrial bookbinding, The Book Block is a joint effort from designers and bookbinders to collect the techniques, processes and considerations of contemporary binding.
Developed for the Making a Book Collection, Uivo was designed to be a workhorse: practical, versatile and, of course, stylish, regardless if on its own or paired with the books’ illustrations.
