Coptic binding

Learned about coptic binding in class.
Experience non-adhesive binding for the first time.
Pretty confusing at first, isn't too bad once you get the hang of it.
It took me about an hour to undo a few sections, and put them back correctly!
Just imagine how hard books were made in the past. The great craftsmanship and patience involved!
