Hand bindery work includes producing fine-tooled bindings, binding books of special personal or economic value, and repairing rare manuscripts, early printed books, and historical documents. Machine bookbinding relies on semiautomatic or fully automatic equipment for processes such as casing-in, in which the bound pages of a book are attached to their cover.
