The most fascinating thing about binding competitions is how many different and creative ways can be found by binders to convey the feeling of a single title.I’m every time amazed by the variety of binding views on a subject!You see them and think “how on earth did he/she come up with this excellent form?It wouldn’t even cross my mind to make it that way!”.
