Definição e Significado de "perfect binding"

What is "perfect binding"?

Perfect binding is a bookbinding method where the pages of a book are glued together at the spine, rather than being sewn or stitched. This technique involves aligning the pages and applying a strong adhesive along the spine to hold them in place. A separate cover is then wrapped around the glued pages and also glued along the spine. Perfect binding creates a smooth, flat spine and is commonly used for paperback books, magazines, and other printed materials. It is valued for its cost-effectiveness and clean, professional appearance.
