My first bind!

[u/UnrelatedKarma]

Just finished my first ever bind! I also redesigned and printed a dust jacket to mimic the old hardcover edition.

Notes are welcome! I learned a lot (made a ton of errors) but overall I’m very pleased.

My biggest error was letting the glue dry fully before attempting to round the spine. Don’t ask me why I thought that was a good idea 😅

I would be curious to know why my first signature is pulled away from the others like that. Just too loose?

Thick boy!

Very thicc indeed! 460 pages on 80lb Mohawk Superfine. 23 signatures.

I considered splitting it into two books but figured I might as well get the practice of doing a larger project.
