Little known, what is referred to as the “millimeter” binding in North America, is a “nobler” version of the German “edelpappband”, or paper binding. The technique is based on the German case (Bradel) binding which is covered in paper. What distinguishes the technique is that cloth, leather, or vellum trim is added at the head and tail, and/ or foredges, and/or corners of the case for greater durability while making the book more elegant.

This example was made by Blissetts with leather to the head & tail and finished in marbled papers with a single gold line at the join and gilt edged pages. The marble papers on this book are sadly no longer available, making this book even more special.
