 scratch and bind it using Coptic stitching.\n\nCoptic stitch bookbinding (
 also called Coptic bookbinding) is a way of binding pages of a book togeth
 er without the use of glue or staples. Like other types of hand binding\, 
 its origins are ancient. A Coptic stitch is a type of stitch used in hand 
 bookbinding to attach the pages and covers together. It’s similar to a c
