Coptic, codex or stabbing?

New terms which make my heart beat a little faster these days.... these are types of book bindings that I want to try.
Something old, something new. I came across these 2 while spring-cleaning... the really old A4 sheets which have turned brown and the new wrapping paper from Watson's leftover from Christmas last year (well, almost new). Three signatures with total of 14 sheets for this A6 size notebook. Sewn with coptic stich so that the pages will open flat.
Have a blessed day!

Afternote:
Made another one this morning... hands itching to make another :-)
Upcycled cover from DS and DD's favourite biscuit that's baked and not fried. Five signatures of 5 sheets each (1 green and 4 white). Coptic-stitched so that the book can be opened flat. Slightly smaller than A5 size to fit the cover.
And another.... not addicted to it but close :-)
I'd better stop now :-)
