In this book the pages are sewn on top of the crease and the difference is subtle but there none the less; the spine stays stiffer while the pages seem to move more freely. I'm pleased with how this book closes flat but opens further than you would expect; how the spine extends ever so slightly, the pages move over each other and the pictures change. It's nice to turn the pages...
And I cut an extra tree hole in the front (it looked a bit plain...) now when it's stood up the concertina makes a tunnel book...
Sometimes it takes me ages to get a book to work, a real struggle. This one seems to have come together ok, nice and simple is the way I think...

Sarah your books are all so amazing. You have a real gift!
I have bookbinding class after work tonight. One more term in the hope to make some notebooks etc for Christmas presents. But I have to admit, after a long busy day at work I find it hard to focus in class for 3 hours. Hopefully I will be productive!
Thank for your comments on Matthew and the cookbook. I was so upset when I read the article. Life sucks sometime you know?!
this is a beautiful, dreamy, fairytal-y- eye-catcher. Amazing!
Ohhh lovely! There is something about this book that reminds me of some garments that a friend made a few years back. I love how it is all cutaway and revealing all the layers. fantastic!
