Your pages are sewn and bound into our most elaborate binding: Medieval Style with 2 Knotted Closures, trimmed with Braided Leather and Gold-tooled Medieval designs. It is a spectacular book worthy of your most important papers and 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. The gold desings on the spine are your choice of ancient fragments of very old books (always different depending on what iI have found) or leather that I stamp with medieval designs.
