I love the concept of making elements slightly oversized, and then trimming them to fit. It is so much more forgiving than trying to cut and align everything perfectly, which has always seemed an unreasonable expectation in many cases.

It's so satisfying to watch those trims! Nice simple video, thanks!

This is such a clear and concise way of explaining it, i sure will be reusing your trick to put glue on the two endpapers at once, it's simple but oh so clever

Glad you found it useful. None of this was invented by me. I, like everyone, learnt it from someone.

It's been a while since I did any book binding, but I still enjoy watching you work on all the techniques

Very cool! This looks much easier than my method of tracing around the textblock and cutting them before attaching.

I have already seeing you doing that in previous videos and I do exactly the same now with great results. Thanks !

I've been applying this same concept to soft covers (after seeing you do this more than one on previous videos), where I stitch the tex block, add the end papers and get them trimmed at the local print shop... and only then I go to design the soft cover and I add a very generous margin of design and colour so I can use the cutter and trim flush just as shown here. Thanks to the tricks I've been learnig from you, the gf is happy that she doesn't has to read the e-books she owns on her phone during the commute, but on actual paper in "proper book shape"

What a perfectly timed video 😅 I've got a project with exactly this sort of process waiting on my desk right now.

Regarding your comment in this video about overly heavy endpapers, that are almost card, I have noticed the same reliance (and I do understand why). In addition to that, I've also seen a number of people use cardstock as the connector paper between the boards in a bradel binding construction, in combination with the use of card for endpapers. I would guess this compounds the issue of a lack of flexibility and may lead to severe issues in the action of the book, yes? It's the only reason I can think of that an additional odd construction popped up that seems to be in conjunction with the cardstock use, which is placing the endpapers so the fold overhangs on the spine edge by about 2 mm. It seems to me to be trying to compensate for the motion lost to the cardstock by pushing all movement action into one spot by aligning the crease of the endpaper with the corner of the spine. as always I super appreciate the commentary you give about the purpose behind various actions. To be quite honest it's the main reason why I could even form the above hypothesis!

As always: the best advice and always just in time 🙏 I wonder how it was in Towoomba (don’t remember how to spell it🙈). That group is so blessed to have you!👍

I have an old paperback romance that i loved when i was a teen. I think i got it from a used book store. The thing is absolutely falling apart. Not only is the cover coming off but the glue binding is failing. I've tried to keep all the pages together, but have been considering trying to reglue it and give it a new cover. It's not really worth anything but i have a fondness for it.

A relative has some old books held together with tape that I would love to fix up, but since they’re perfect bound, I’m not sure what’s the best approach. The only idea I have is splitting the whole book into pages and doing a double fan binding. I would love to see a DAS approach to repairing a perfect bound paperback that has pages falling out.
