I just finished designing and typesetting a book for the wife of one of the Maker Space’s Area Captains. It’s slim volume of letters written to her niece during the Pandemic about a traumatic event that occurred. I’m awaiting final approval on the text block before printing it.

Once it’s printed, I will bind it as a hard cover book. I’ve already designed the cover which will be embellished with silver for the title and cover image. It will be similar in style to this sketchbook I made for my youngest granddaughter a few years ago. It has her zodiac sign and her name on the front and the year on the spine with silver accents instead of gold.

I also have a nineteenth century history book to repair. I just need to find a nice piece of thin leather for the spine which is the largest repair. i haven’t come across one yet. I have leather workers who are checking their stashes for the right kind of leather. I’m also watching the thrift shops for a purse of the right leather type that I can use the leather from.
