Bookbinding thread Anonymous 2016-08-17 21:48:36 Post No. [Report]

I decided to make a book last week, took me like three evenings before I finally finished it (I got lazy by the end so the cover is kind of crap, too bad). It's actually not that hard if you have all the right right tools from the get go.

Any bookmakers in here?

Here's another pic. I documented the steps somewhat (roughly), if anyone's interested.

I'm not an expert, obviously (I mostly relied on youtube videos to make it), but I can try to answer questions.

I know /diy/ is perhaps meant to be more for the heavy-duty stuff, but hey I made it with my own hands so it counts too

Am thinking of binding my own PhD thesis

Cool! I am an amateur bookbinder myself (not really good at the moment).

Thats some nice work, OP. Really like it. My biggest problem is finding the right paper, with the fibers on the right orientation. Simply can't find anything in my country.

Pic related is the... paper that is glued on the inside of the cover and front page of the book (that I clearly do not know what is the name in english) that I use on mine. Not very traditional, but I like.
