The binding of a book is an integral part of the reading experience. The way a book is bound changes the way a reader engages with the object as well as the information that it contains. Artists' books that have unique bindings can range from decorative thread bindings on a codex form to different ways of folding and flipping through the pages. Listed below are a selection of the artists' books with binding design features.
