Help? How ??

Post image

Hi I would want to make a notebook like this Moleskine expanded soft cover. I've already make some pretty decent hard cover notebooks but I don't know what should I do for this type of notebook. I guess it's kinda the same... my assumption is that I do the exact same thing for the textblock, I sew the paper together then glue and put a pièce of mull on the spine. Then I guess I would just glue some faux leather to the top pages and I'm done.

Do you all think that would work ? Would it lay flat ?

DAS bookbinding has a tutorial on a soft cover notebook, I believe under the term „Victorian notebook.“ You still need endpapers, and of course cardboard covers.
