The 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 is a method of bookbinding that uses a primary and a secondary sewing, resulting in a distinct thread pattern on the cover and spine of the finished book. The primary sewing is used to create the textblock. The secondary sewing is used to bind the textblock to the cover boards.

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: "𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝"
This binding was invented in the mid-1980s by Anne Goy, a Belgian bookbinder. She was looking for a Western version of the traditional Japanese stab binding techniques. She wanted a book that would open flat but with the appearance of the stab sewing. The book cover is made using three separate pieces: front cover, back cover, and spine piece. The spine piece is held in place only by threads passing over and under it. It creates a distinct thread pattern on the cover and it is a very sturdy binding that allows the book to open completely flat.
