HOYT'S INDESTRUCTIBLE BOOKBINDING. A GREAT ECONOMY IN BOOKS, AND THE ONLY INVENTION OF PRACTICAL UTILITY Secured by Letters Patent in the United States, Canada, and Europe. This is not a portable binder, nor a device for temporary use, but is a method of binding together the leaves of a volume without the use of thread, tape, or sewing of any kind, and holding the same so securely within the covers that wear and tear cannot impair the union. Sewing, glueing, and other manipulations incident to the usual process of bookbinding are entirely superseded by this method, and books once bound in this way never need rebinding. By this method, tho leaves of the book are fastened together by wire pins inserted through the inner margin, near the back, the ends of the pins being turned down and laid parallel with the margin, clamping the leaves together. A back of thin metal is pressed on the book, having flanges overlapping the ends of the pins, which prevents the leaves from tearing away from the pins, as is the case with wire sewing or tape work. The back and side covers are then finished in paper, muslin, or leather in any style that may be desired, and when finished are not to be distinguished from books bound under the old method. By a peculiar curve in the pins, the required flexibility is secured in the opening of the volume; and, in opening and closing it, all friction, which is the destructive element in ordinary binding, is avoided; the whole forming a strong, substantial binding, indestructible by ordinary wear and tear. In binding by this process no loose leaves or breaking of backs can occur, but the books will retain a uniform compactness until entirely worn out; and the annoyance and inconvenience of the constant loosening of leaves, especially in library and school books, is effectually obviated. Broken and worn school-books, and the entire waste text-book material of schools can be largely restored to use at a small cost, and made equal to new books in every practical requirement and with a very much greater degree of durability. By collating the missing pages in any one worn out book, from those of another book in the same state, and then inserting them in the first, at least fifty per cent. of the books which otherwise would have to be sold as old paper can be used again All the worn-out books from the public schools in the City of New York are, under the direction of the Board of Education, rebound by this method, and a very large pecuniary annual saving made to the city thereby. The above considerations commend this method of binding to persons who have charge of public, circulating, or Sunday-school libraries, or any other institutions where books are subjected to hard usage. Another important consideration is, that the cost of this binding is less than that for ordinary binding, while its durability places the economy of its use beyond all question. It is also the best and most economical method of binding newspapers, pamphlets, magazines, or other periodicals, and is rapidly becoming the favorite mode of binding and preserving them. Specimens, terms, and full particulars will be furnished on application; and every description of binding will be executed by the new process in any desired style of finish and in any quantity by the undersigned, or his authorized agents. The testimonials herewith presented are selected from a large number furnished by professional, literary, and other parties who have used and tested this mode of binding for the past four years.

The Normal College Committee had fifteen hundred volumes of at least a dozen different works repaired and rebound according to your new plan, and the result has been most satisfactory, the books rebound by you being stronger and more durable that the new books from the publisher. THOS. HUNTER, Pres. Normal College. GRAMMAR SCHOOL NO. 10. NEW YORK, February 27th, 1880. I am decidedly in favor of it, not only on account of the vast expense saved to the treasury of the Board of Education by its introduction and application, but also on account of the great strength it imparts to the backbone of the book.
