Taking it apart.\u003c\/strong\u003e The original cover comes off, the text block is cleaned up and, where needed, the signatures are re-sewn by hand so the book opens flat and stays that way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. The design.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fabric, foil, motifs and lettering are decided together with you. You see a complete digital mockup before anything is cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Cutting and transferring.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each element is cut separately — sometimes a dozen pieces for a single cover — and transferred onto the cloth one by one. This is where the hours go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Foiling.\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic and holographic foil is applied by hand and pressed with heat. It is the step with the least room for error: foil does not forgive a second attempt in the same place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. The case.\u003c\/strong\u003e Boards, spine and cloth become the case. The text block is glued in, the endpapers are set, the edges are gilded or sprayed if you chose that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Pressing and checking.\u003c\/strong\u003e The finished book spends its last hours under weight, then gets checked, wrapped and sent tracked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout a week of work after your approval — and at no point does a machine decide what the cover looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/innas-books.com\/collections\/how-its-made.oembed","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
