Description

Dos-à-dos–French for "back-to-back"–is a binding structure in which two separate books are bound together sharing the same back cover. Come make your own raised cord, 5 ½ by 6-inch, dos-à-dos binding with covers and papers of each book as totally different from each other, or exactly the same. Choose from various papers and if you want to sew more signatures (adding more pages), more materials can be provided.
