From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Book folding is the stage of the book production process in which the pages of the book are folded after printing and before binding.[1]
Until the middle 19th century, book folding was done by hand, and book folder was a trade. In the 1880s and 1890s, book folding machines by Brown and Dexter came onto the market, and by the 1910s hand-folding of sheets was rare, with one publisher declaring them, in 1914, to be "practically obsolete".[1]
