According to the form of the spine, there are two types: square spine and round spine.

1) The square spine is thicker than the book block. Due to the folding and sewing of the book block, the height of the spine is higher than the book block, and the more printed sheets, the more obvious. Therefore, hardcover books with square spines should not be too thick, and are generally suitable for spines within 20mm.

2) The circular spine, because the positions of the front and rear signatures are slightly different, the folds of the signatures are slightly semicircular, distributed on a curved surface, and its thickness is balanced. The book block and the opening are adapted to the convex circle of the spine and are concave. Therefore, it is better to use a round spine for thicker books. Books with round spines are rounded and the back spine is arc-shaped. Generally, the thickness of the book block is used as the rotation and the arc is 130 degrees. The round ridge can be divided into two types: round back without ridge and round back with ridge.
