INTRO TO BOOKBINDING (final class)

Minnesota Center for Book Arts

week four

in our final class, we cased in our hard cover books. after the boards were cut we measured the distance between the spine piece and the cover boards in order to glue them into the book cloth.
















then we covered our boards with paper and fitted the text blocks inside. applying glue to the endpapers, we closed the cover briefly and opened it again to burnish the endpapers to the inside covers.







at the end of class, we exchanged single-sheet books and built a slipcase for them.
