Bookbinding is fun
« on: 25 Oct 2006, 13:09 »

Hey there folks, I just finished a neat little project, perfect binding volume 1 of the Baka-Tsuki traslation of "The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi" into a 5.5 x 8.5 trade paperback and I and I thought that someone might find it interesting. The guide that I used is here.

The first time that you open a book that you have bound yourself is a total rush, and I plan on doing this for the rest of the series, so that I will have a nice matching stack of books for myself to read at my leisure

here are my photos, I hope this might inspire more people to try this, it is really fun

That looks really good! I am actually trying something like this at the moment, although need to find some stronger thread.

That is awesome!  I do not believe that I have come across many book-binders in my day.
