Book Headband
A book headband is the small decorative strip of cloth found at the top and bottom of a hardcover book‘s spine, just inside the cover. Traditionally, it was hand-sewn into the binding to strengthen the spine. Today, while many headbands are machine-made and primarily decorative, they still add a touch of craftsmanship and elegance to a finished book.

Purpose of a Book Headband
Book headbands served both functional and decorative purposes:
- Reinforcement: Headbands were sewn directly into the binding to strengthen the book’s spine and help prevent wear.
- Aesthetic Appeal: A headband adds a refined, professional finish to hardcover and casebound books.
- Cover Gap Concealment: It helps cover the gap between the spine and the book block, giving the book a clean, polished look.
