French fold
A sheet of paper printed on one side only and folded over
from left and right to form a "section" with uncut bolts. The
inside of the fold is blank.

I believe that Asian Binding (e.g. Japanes binding) is the
term applied to the method used for french-folded
text blocks.

| i'm looking to start a major binding project and there's a certain
| binding that really catches my eye. however i have no idea what it's
| called therefore i'm having a difficult time finding any type of
| resource material to learn the process.
|
| the binding looks like a page folded in half so that it's kind of a
| "double page" binding and the inside of the page is blank. if anyone
is
| familiar with the book "i am almost always hungry" it's the binding
| they used. and if memory serves me right i believe the hardback
edition
| of "beowulf : a new verse tranlsation" by seamus heaney is bound in
the
| same manner.
|
| any insight into this "mysterious" binding would be helpful.
|
| thanks.
