A section (also a gathering and quire if unprinted) [37] is a group of bifolia folded together. [38] In a finished book, each section is sewn through the fold. The number of bifolia determine the name of the section: [39] duernion — two bifolia, producing four leaves; ternion — three bifolia, producing six leaves;
The cut-up and the closely associated fold-in are the two main techniques: Cut-up is performed by taking a finished and fully linear text and cutting it in pieces with a few or single words on each piece. The resulting pieces are then rearranged into a new text, such as in poems by Tristan Tzara as described in his short text, TO MAKE A DADAIST ...
