Happy new year, everyone. My goal for this year for book binding will be to try using leather, and attempt a replica of one of the early gospels. It'll be a real achievement if I pull it off, considering my current ability

Im putting up all the books I've typeset on Patreon on a free tier, if anyone wants to read books and bind some classic literature. You'll get a Pdf for reading, Pdfs ready to print, and the InDesign files so you can make changes.

Enjoy.

Here's my first project using bookcloth. It was surprising how easy printing onto bookcloth was

This was me learning the lesson that I shouldn't use 220gsm paper for printing books. These have the same content
