This stage of bookbinding is very fast, but is stressful because a lot can go wrong. You only really get one chance to correctly put the book into it's final resting place, so it's crucial to be precise to the millimeter.
I was quite impressed how well everyone did. There were no catastrophes.
Ross definitly got an A for effort. Not only that, he provided an excellent example of how much glue is "too much glue."
Everyone put a lot of consideration into their paper and cloth selection, so each ended up with a beautiful, personalized sketchbook.
It was definitly very fun for me to share my knowledge of bookbinding, and maybe it's something I'd like to teach again in the future? We'll see.
Ross' classmates all pitched in and surprised me with this book as a thank you. It's a comprehensive collection of the best Penguin covers.
It's not just a great resource, it's also really well printed.
A thoughtful gift & an excellent keepsake. (No relation to the author on the left.)
