I put this book together on the spur of the moment. I had some signatures set aside because the edges were badly uneven from inexpert tearing. I had a piece of paste paper that I like a lot that was about the right size for a cover. And I had a demo of the bow stitch binding from Ali Manning\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s group that I really wanted to try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I started and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m almost done with the first signature, one page a day since December 10. It has been a pleasure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
