Short Video of My Bookbinding Project

The process is exacting. The covers have to be cut to the right length as well as the spine. It must be placed in the right place on the cover for glueing. I've used almost 30 ounces of glue to make eight books, a good portion of a roll of waxed dental floss for binding/sewing the pages together and a couple yards of material for the covers. You have to be careful not to glue everything in sight. Waxed paper helps. I still have to put a title on the front and perhaps the spine for the editions. Almost done.
