This binding, devised by Cor Aerssens, arises from the need to create a binding in full cardboard, which does not require lining, and can be left natural to emphasize the characteristics of the material chosen to create the cover, be it gray bookbinding cardboard, or other white or colored cardboard - which can also be finished with wax.
 

The book must be bound with a criterion of full functionality without requiring any covering of leather, fabric, paper or similar.


One of the characteristics of the Groninger Binding is the integration of the boards with the body of the book, which eliminates the need to join them together by means of the endpapers.
The book becomes the support, the support is the book.


This construction method allows for a wide choice of variations; during the seminar we will create one, but we will also do a general analysis of the different possibilities.
