Wire-o Wire-o Books with Printed Spine
We have been working for some time on developing different treatments for book edges primarily as a means of decoration. However on these wire-o titles (and of course it would also be possible on spiral bindings) the idea really comes into its own - screen printing the spine of the book block helps solve the bookshop's dilemma of how to give wire-o books shelf space without having to display them face on.

Lip Lip Balms with carabiner attachment
Carabiners were originally developed for mountaineers as industrial strength rope latches working on a simple loaded spring arm. Imitations are becoming popular as fashion accessories such as these lip balm keychains - they might not attach you to the mountain but we think they could make a great add on to attach to a book or bag.

Coptic Coptic Binding
Coptic binding is an ancient form of open spined binding which uses an exposed chain of knots to weave the signatures together and attach the book block to the case. The advantages of this binding style is that the book block lies completely flat or can be opened to form a 360 degree round. This binding style might suit a mind, body & spirit or lifestyle title.
