Piano Hinge Binding
I first learned this method of binding from Denise deMarie at a workshop in Sisters, Oregon
This is another style of binding that opens flat - making it easy for writing and painting or collage

Janice - Your books are wonderful!! Can you direct me to any sources of instruction so I can make some too? :^)
Janet - my favorite book about bookbinding is Keith Smith's Non-Adhesive Binding. I mentioned on this blog, but I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. Shereen LaPlantz' Cover to Cover is much easier to follow - but more about art books than functional books.
Gwen Diehn, in her The Decorated Journal has a section on making books - both easy and functional. I think this would be a good starting point.
And Gwen posted instructions at EDM for her version of piano hinge - I'm going to try it later this week. It's a little different and looks to be quite quick and easy.
