second attempt at making a book

 

 

I like this one LOTS better. I got the text block much tighter, and everything is more centered and tidy.

Things to improve next time:

Cover is too wide on the side opposite the binding. I think I must have cut it without taking into account that I don't need a margin on the side where the binding rests.

Glue is showing through the endpapers. The "real" stuff hasn't come in the mail yet, so I used rubber cement, and it soaked through.

Didn't leave enough margin around the edges of the paper I used to cover the cover. Wanted to buy paper I thought was pretty, but it was also slightly too small. :)

LOVING this experiment!
