A Little Book Called the Flipback


flipback book
LibraryThing’s June Newsletter reports on a new book format called the flipback. Introduced in the Netherlands, and gaining in popularity, the flipback opens and reads top to bottom, and is printed on thin bible paper. The thin paper allows the novel to be closer to the size of a cell phone, giving it high marks in portability. Its special binding also makes the flipback very flexible, allowing it the book to fall fully open without breaking the spine.

The flipback is soon to debut in the UK from publisher Hodder & Stoughton. Check out their video introduction to the flipback, then tells us if you’d like to see the flipback find its way to the US.
