How are endpapers made?
What is an endpaper?
The flyleaf is a sheet of paper folded in half between the cover and the book block. Its main purpose is to connect the block and the cover. The flyleaf hides the back of the cover and spine, and protects the outer pages of the book from dirt and damage. For endpapers, special equipment is used: dense, durable, not afraid of tears and creases, not deformable when wet.Simple endpapers are made entirely of paper – solid paper. They are easy to manufacture, but not very suitable for large and valuable publications due to their low strength. The component endpapers are much more reliable. In them, paper blank sheets are joined by a fold – a thin strip of fabric in the area of the spine. This improves durability, but is more difficult to manufacture.
How do you connect an endpaper to a book?
– Glued endpapers. on the folded sheet in the bend area, apply glue with a strip of up to 5 mm and attach it to the spine field of the notebook. This process is very simple, but it reduces the margin of the title page and the connection is not very strong.
– Stitched endpapers. The folded fold is folded around the first notebook of the book block (so the endpaper should be larger than in the glued method) and stitched together with it. This method is a guarantee of the high strength of the binding structure.
– Sew-on endpapers. Such an endpaper is only a component, while it is made as a separate notebook, which is sewn to the book block. In addition, both sides of the structure are additionally glued with special paper blanks.Textured materials can be used for endpapers. This is especially often used in the restoration of old editions. New pages of the flyleaf can be knocked out of the general style, therefore, aging of the paper is used to fully match the book.
