Ok. A year ago I had nothing, then thanks to Coralie I had a plan.
I have been putting a bit of news here and there, on the Kickstarter, on other pages on this blog, on Facebook.
Let me say officially that The Perfume of Books is now being printed and bound commercially at Impress Printers in Fyshwick. I am binding 12 sets. I am having a bit of a binding design crisis. So I took a leaf of Hannah Brown and I made some maquettes to help me work out problems.
This is the commercial cover:
This is what the perfect bound book will look like
So I am sewing sheets, rounding and backing textblocks and now designing the covers. This is what they will look like:
-
- Type of millimetre binding
-
- I like having lines going across one side to the other
-
- With cuts outs and title under
-
- All three design for the Perfume
These are just design ideas, not the final ones. However I think that each book I bind will be slightly different to the others.
I would show you the design for The Secret Life of Watermarks but I can’t seem to upload it. It is rather beautiful.
This is what I am going to do, more or less ish
Bindings are happening. See you later.
