Hand Stitched
(AKA - Signature Binding)

Perfected in the 15th century,
this type of binding was used as early as the 12th century by monks. 
This is the method of sewing folded sections of paper (signatures) together over leather cords.
The hand stitched paper (book block) is then bound permanently
 between boards and cured skins.  
This type of binding is permanent.
 The books are crafted with genuine leather and parchment finished paper.
The paper is a 60 lb weight, acid free, natural color and unlined.
The hand stitched blank leather books do open flat.

Hand Laced
 (AKA - Codex or Cord Binding)

One of the earliest and most simple forms of binding.
The cord bound book superseded the rolled form.
The manuscript in flat book form was held together by a cord which passed through holes
pierced along the spine margins of parchment or paper sheets, similar to Japanese bound books. 
 D'Vyne Wrytes blank books are a modernized version. 
The books are pierced with a standard three hole punch or two hole punch
to accommodate loose leaf  notepaper or day planner fillers. 
This style binding was inspired by early codex side-stabbed binding method.
The books are crafted with genuine leather and loose leaf parchment finished paper.
The paper is 60 lb weight, acid free, natural color and unlined.
             This type of binding is refillable. 
Exchange the text weight paper with a cover weight paper
and this style book easily converts to a sketch book, photo album or scrapbook!
Cord binding books will open flat when the cord is loosened.

"Several months ago, I had ordered one of your books.  When I received it, I couldn't believe the wonderful workmanship and quality that you put into this book.  I wrote you stating how much I loved it!  I just want you to know that not only do you certainly have a gift, but also that, no doubt, you have been a bookbinder probably during the Middle Ages!  I commend you for your talent."
