Books are considered to be our best friend, is very apt not only for voracious book readers but also for amateur readers. That makes it imperative to protect our books from wear and tear. The history of book binding goes a long way, since the time of documenting and preserving the writing took place, which gets improvised over the period of time.

Stitching – In its attempt to preserve the book, the traditional system used stitches, also known as Chinese or Korean book binding. However there is always a possibility of stiches breaking in case of excessive use. Unlike book lamination, where the original book cover is retained by covering it from all sides, splitting of book from the spine is reduced which helps in protecting old books.

Glue – A better version of Traditional Book binding was the use of Glue to bind the paper of the books which assisted in flipping of papers. However the toxicity of glue is not always safe for children. Frequent shuffling of pages would not hold the book together as compared to lamination of books. A newer and better way that handles this issue is the Colibri System which not only helps in holding book together but also does not use glue and is considered safe even for children.

Spine of the Book – Traditional Binding of the Books has its impact on the spine of the book, which affects the longevity of books. However, with the CoLibri book covering method, the spine of the books are unaffected which increases the shelf life and also preserves the originality of books for a longer period.

Look of the Book – In Traditional binding, the look and cover of the book are the first victim and the original feel of the book is sacrificed in a bid to save books. In using the Colibri book covering system, the cover and layout of book remains unchanged retaining the original feel.

Even for Book Lamination, the new automated system like CoLibri is more convenient and sophisticated. The non-toxic bio-degradable covering medium allows books to be kept in the best possible way for a long time. The durability is not hampered; new books as well as old ones stay protected from physical damage, which enhances longevity, much to delight of book lovers.
