What does Smyth Sewing Mean to Artists?

Smyth sewn book bindings are typically used on books meant to stand the test of time and are regarded as the highest quality book binding available. An indicator of a library quality, archival safe book, Smyth sewing is found on most textbooks, books targeted for libraries and lab notebooks because those books have to stand up to years of wear and tear. Utrecht uses this binding method because we understand the beating your sketchbook can take.

Smyth sewing, as the name implies, involves physically sewing the pages into the book using binders thread. The binding is reinforced with fabric backing and adhesive to create the most usable and durable books available. Designed to withstand prolonged stress, Smyth sewing is the ideal solution for any product subject to repetitive usage.
