Sewn vs. Glued Book Binding – How to Spot the Difference

Join the Pontus Presents Discord-server!   / discord  

Today we check out the differences between a sewn binding versus a glued one, and how to spot what is what!

In this video I cover smyth-sewn bindings, glued perfect bindings, concertina bindings and hybrid bindings.

The first book being used is the "Adult Version" of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (perfect binding).

The second book is: Amerika by Franz Kafka, published by the Folio Society (smyth-sewn binding).

The third book is: The Martian by Andy Weir (Hybrid(?) binding).

The fourth book is: The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell ("fake smyth-sewn binding").

And the last book is the limited edition of "The Colour Out of Space" by H.P. Lovecraft published by Shelter Bookworks (concertina).
