Production for On Being a California Poet -- Part 2
Sewing books is one of the more relaxing and satisfying steps in book production. On this book Sabina is using a split station unsupported link stitch.
In the picture above you can see the needle being passed through the stitch in the previous signature, creating the link.
After the link has been made the sewing continues along to the next split station where the slack is pulled through tight.
A growing stack of neatly sewn textblocks is a nice sight to see.
