Broken back cover
The binding with a broken spine is a bibliophile type of binding for books, which was created by simplifying the Bradel binding .
development
Originally the cover with a broken spine was made as a simple cover variant with a simple, thin cardboard cover (cardboard tape). The folding hinge was broken with the folding bone around the back. This is where the name comes from.
Later, the cardboard lids became thicker, so that a thinner back insert was necessary. In the case of a broken spine, the spine insert is still broken or partially grooved around the spine of the book block. The back insert is laminated onto wrapping paper and then pulled flush to the cover with the protruding paper folds (similar to the simply attached writing book ). At Henningsen, Brade and Moessner, the back edge is cut so wide that the lid is glued directly onto the protruding back insert. After the attachment folds have been sanded down, the book cover is usually covered with paper ( colored paper ). Depending on the type of attachment used, the cover can be produced with a broken spine as a cover tape or like a Franz tape on the book block.
