I finished off another book yesterday.
The alphabet background is a scanned version of the endpapers. The covers are inkjet canvas and quite solid. I do spray such covers with a Textile Guard. But later on this year I will be going to a course on making slipcases and the last three books I have made will be given a protective box.
We are still snowed in and I have another book to get on with. But more important, is to do the February accounts. I always feel very virtuous when the monthly accounts are completed. And I hope to get more weaving done which should be possible since all I can do to the next book is sew up the spine. After that , I need to square off the edges of the text and I need to go to the bookbinders class to access the tools for that.

I have an Edward Lear collection with very similar pictures on the cloth binding...
