Thread sewn bookbinding is the trend-driven bookbinding for all kinds of publications. Thread sewn bookbinding is the bookbinding Publicide Inc. uses for everything cool. Publicide utilizes thread sewn bookbinding for high-quality, long-lasting objects that will stand the test of time. Thread sew bookbinding is also ideal for books that must be made to be open flat without splitting along the spine.
Recipe book printing in New York
This enviable recipe book for handcrafted gin cocktails was printed by Publicide for Sipsmith, London’s newest, traditional copper gin distillery. The first copper distillery to start up operations in over one hundred and fifty years. The last one to open in London was in1820.
We love not only the thread sewn bookbinding but also the design as well as the printing techniques employed to manufacture this perfect little book.  This book of handmade gin cocktails goes beyond bespoke, and into another realm of the old-world aesthetic.

Full-color CMYK digital printing marks highly saturated colors chosen by the designer to stretch the capabilities (or color builds) of the press. Understanding the limits of CMYK digital, the designer maximized the visual impact of this recipe book fitting the style and density to the parameters of offset printing.
Choosing a felt finish on the inside pages of this book was paramount to the design. Felt finish is the most highly textured of natural tree fiber papers. Very much like watercolor paper, felt finish is made to absorb ink density and feels slightly rough and deconstructed to touch.
Choosing a smooth, soft touch marshmallow paper finish, the cover is almost velveteen in its matte feel applied by the process of lamination. This finish is highly regarded and quite popular with small run books. Soft touch marshmallow finish is noted for its collectability if slightly precious. Sensitive to human touch and environmental residue this finish is rarely seen on high traffic printed stuff such as restaurant menus and letterpress business cards

Other binding such as staples, glue binding, and lay flat are available to this type of book but thread sewn binding is the way to do it for archival articles to look like they were made in another century and to withstand the centuries ahead.
