Book Book History

It is not a secret for anyone that pen, writing and books have had a significant impact on the progress of mankind and civilization; Stone tablets, cuneiform, papyrus and hieroglyphic language. Stone tablets were too heavy to move, unlike primitive papers like papyrus, which were easily portable. But the problem was that there was a lot of paper to move. At this time, the need for binding was seen, an operation that keeps the sheets together and somehow prevents them from being damaged. Binding the leaves together and keeping them out of order was very important, but even more important was the binding of the books, something that would protect the vulnerable papyrus leaves from moisture, erosion, and insects. Book binding in its present form has been with us since the time of the Timurids and was very important from the very beginning. Binding is the art and skill of arranging and connecting the pages of a book (or the like) and placing the cover on them in order to keep the pages together and prevent the book from being worn or torn. During that time, various artists bound the handwritten books of the past and by doing this, they greatly contributed to their durability; So that today in various museums we see books that were bound by the masters of calligraphy, painting, gilding and enameling.

Gluing the pages manually had to be done in accordance with the predetermined pattern, because otherwise, despite being beautiful and of high quality, the final product would not have sufficient and necessary standards. Years later, with the advent of the printing industry, binding went from art to industrialization, so that today it is one of the most important stages of book printing. Nowadays, all the steps of binding books, magazines and the like are done automatically in different book printing and publishing houses, and this has caused the speed of book binding to increase significantly, especially in high circulations.
