Retiring gift
This is a retirement gift for someone tomorrow. Hope he likes it.
* 30 three sheet signatures of 100 GSM Fabriano paper.
* Made endpapers with paste paper.
* Sewn on 5 hemp cords.
* Rounded and backed.
* Hand sewn three-colour endbands.
* 3mm boards laced.
* Tight back sheep leather covered.
* Blind tooling for decoration.
The square with diagonal lines on the cover is shifted to the right for a good reason: I made a mistake while tooling.
In the last page (not shown) I attached a label with a QR code that links a website explaining how this particular book was made, step by step.
