Inspiring Artists Books
Artists can choose from many binding techniques to make books that stand rather than lie flat. Whilst the majority of artists seem to choose an accordion or concertina structure for upright books, other methods include: tunnel books, gate fold books, pop up books, flag books, star books and books with a crown binding. Any of these books can include stitched bindings or stitching in general. I found a great many interesting and inspiring artists books to look at and some of these are included below.
Accordion and Concertina bindings:
These bindings can have additional inserts and pockets
Crown Binding
Books with vertical struts
Tunnel Books
Star Books
So not a lot to be getting on with!!!
