Methods for binding books are provided. In such methods a cover made of a flexible material is provided and a block-book is formed joining a number of signatures and applying glue along the spine of the signatures. The book-block is coupled with the cover, obtaining a bound book. The spine of the bound book is rounded off, in order to give the book an outwardly convex spine. The rounded shape of the spine is maintained for a time interval sufficient to allow drying of the glue within the bound book, and finally the book is trimmed. Books made by such methods are also provided. |
