/ Book binding and printing
English term or phrase: Smyth sewn of ...: section thread sewn
In a text about book binding and printing, there is a list of terms, some of which I cannot understand. There is no context.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot

Cosido a OR con máquina Smythe
Explanation:
This is a machine that sews the spines of the books under binding. The following short text explains somewhat.

A Smyth-sewn soft cover book is a hybrid of two different types of binding: case binding and perfect binding. Text signatures are folded and collated after printing, then run through the same Smyth sewing machines used for hard cover books. This ingenious machine sews through the spine fold of each signature with a strong nylon thread. This process creates an extremely strong, flexible text "block" that binds into the cover as a single unit."

The second phrase could do with a bit more context but maybe:

sección cosida con fibra/fibra/hilo


Try it out and see
