here in half leather, is a refined technique which has been invented by Gary Frost in the 1980's. He developed a perfect mecanic for conservation bindings, insuring an easy and respectful opening of the book. The boards are soft despite their thickness. They are covered with a paper that is not glued on the whole surface but only in the turn-ins. Also the endsheets are glued like drum leafs.
