Quiz:<\/h3>\n

Write the letter from the key that fits each description below.<\/p>\n

1) Sheets of paper are nested and stapled together through a centerfold. Typically, this is done with wire staples. _____<\/p>\n

2) Sheets of paper are nested and stitched together through the spine with loop wire (as opposed to metal staples). This allows the pages to be inserted into a ring binder. _____<\/p>\n

3) Unfolded sheets of paper are stacked and stapled together down the side of the spine from the front to back. _____<\/p>\n

4) Tape is wrapped and glued around the spine of the document. The finished binding may or may not include side-stitching for additional strength. _____<\/p>\n

5) Folded pages are stacked and glued together at the spine. The spine is wrapped with a paper cover. _____<\/p>\n

6) Folded pages are stacked and PUR glued together at the spine. The spine of the book is not attached to the cover, allowing the book to lie all the way open. _____<\/p>\n

7) Signatures are folded and stitched through the fold, then sewn and glued together at the spine to form a text block. This combination produces an extremely durable and flexible binding. _____<\/p>\n

8) A small number of pages are sewn together through the spine with thread with the help of a converted sewing machine. Sewing can be done through the spine or through the side. _____<\/p>\n

9) Books are sewn or perfect bound, then encased with a separate hard or soft cover. _____<\/p>\n
