This is the most demanding binding that I make. The knots and braids are bulky, and have to be added in stages. I use carpenter's clamps and cobbler's glue to hold it togethe for at least 24 hours each for braids and knots and loops. It is a unique and durable book. . The way that the heavy cream colored laid finish paper is folded makes this a truly unique and versatile book. When pulled out, the accordion pages stretch out to twenty-five feet long. The book will also lie flat as you turn the folded pages. There are 32 pages (surfaces). When you turn the book over there are 32 more pages to use, so you have 64 in all. Our picture of one spread out at a wedding reception shows it used to hold photos, but you can glue in news clippings, cards, letters, or other keepsakes. Use a glue stick or our old-fashioned acid free gold photo corners. The size of the closed book is 9 by 12 inches. See the wrap style accordion book for more pictures.
