I've just completed the next to last step for my part of the work on The Men of Baldfolk and Other Fanciful Tales by Lord Dunsany. While listening to baseball on the Grundig windup radio I've been preparing the Sime watercolour illustration for the edition. This entailed measuring six inches and then scoring each with a bone folder. The sheet is then folded in half and smoothed down with the bone folder with wax paper over it, otherwise the paper gets marks on it. From there each sheet is trimmed to about 6 3/8 inches. This leaves a small tab which allows it to be sewn into the book signature. I then trimmed the eighty signatures to a nice even edge. Whew!
The only thing left for me to do now is print the spine titles.
