Just a couple of pictures to show you where we're at.

Sewing The Signatures

&

Putting The Book Together

Each book takes about 3 hours to prep.  Cutting the book cloth, laying out the boards, cutting end papers, sewing the signatures, gluing and shaping the spine, allowing the glue to dry. 

Finally, another 2 hours to glue the cloth to the boards, secure the book in place and glue the end papers.  

Then the book sits under weight for several days to keep the boards from warping while the glue dries thoroughly.

It takes longer than it would seem.  And it's something that will not be rushed, though I have tried to speed up the process.

But there is something very Zen about binding a book.  I hope that comes through on some subtle level when you read these books.  They are made with love from start to finish.
