What Are Wiro Bound Books?
Wiro bound books are books that has been bound with a wire binding. The spine of the book is constructed with a continuous length of wire that is bent into shape. The pages are then attached to the spine by stitching through the fold of each page at the top and bottom. A wiro bound book will typically have a visible line of stitching along the spine that is different from the stitching that holds the pages together. This line is typically silver, gold, or black. In addition, the pages will often have a fold at the top, which runs perpendicular to the spine. The advantage of having a visible wire binding is that the reader can easily see which page they’re on without having to open up the book.
Why Are these Books Becoming More Common?
One of the biggest advantages of these books is that they can be manufactured in larger quantities. This means that they can be produced less expensively, which in turn means they can be sold at a lower price point. For consumers, this means that they can take advantage of cheap or discounted prices for their favorite books. And if you are a collector or someone who likes to buy used books, these less-expensive options can help you build your collection. Depending on the type of book it is, these books are also more durable than traditional cloth binding. This is particularly true for textbooks and other books that will be used and handled frequently.
