Deconstructed Binding Studies by Benjamin Reynaert

Selection of various exposed-spine or “deconstructed” bindings. These sewing patterns have been learned through study and many are original techniques I have developed that expose the structure of the binding and reveal all of the elements of a handmade book.

The Chained Library of Zutphen

I took these pictures during a visit to the 16th-century chained library of Zutphen, in the east of the Netherlands. It is one of three such libraries still in existence in Europe. Nothing much has changed here for 550 years.

Something about a library of chain-bound books is so very, very D’ni.
