Paper Covered Pamphlet with Turn-Ins // Adventures in Bookbinding

[@HeathenHammer123]

Just did this tonight, I bought the book though your recommendation on your video showing the 12 books in a year video. It was a fun project to try, though now that I have finished and watched your video, I see where I went wrong in the cover, I have one corner where I went short over long, cause of my carelessness, no matter, it was fun to do a project I wouldn't have other wise done, while waiting for my order from Hollanders so I can finish other projects. Thanks for all you do!

Very cute little book, I’d love to see you make more miniature books 🙂

[@DASBookbinding]

I'll do the occasional small book. But miniatures are too small for my poor eyes:) DAS

Great video! This is an easy beginner project I can try while I’m waiting for my supplies to get here. Thank you :)

I think they way you tied the knot on the inside of the pamphlet In the video you dedicated to pamphlets looks better, but the method you show here is very quick and simple.

Hey! Very pleasant videos you make. If one wants to bind a master thesis (say between 70-100 pages) and the (largest) available paper for printing is A4, what method of binding would you then recommend? I’d like to have mine in my bookcase, and I really like the look of the 19th century library binding.

[@DASBookbinding]

I'd try and stick with using cloth rather than leather. Assuming you can fold the sheets into sections I would do a rounded and backed case binding. A bit more complex is the cloth covered split board attachment, aka library binding, which I have a video on. Good luck! DAS

Very nice! So, no trimming of the fore edge of the paper?

[@DASBookbinding]

The instructions didn't include trimming, so I didn't either. It's a good exercise to see what it looks like. In a thin book with careful folding it looks good. I used this book in a community workshop recently. I didn't want the risk of people using knives. I cut the cover paper in the kits to size to get the right turn-ins. Then the most dangerous tools used were the awl, needle and scissors. All the best, Darryn

@@DASBookbinding Thanks for the reply, Darryn! Cheers M8 😀

[@DASBookbinding]

@@BacchatusJade It's about risk management. The people who employed me preferred I minimise risk. And it helped with timing to keep the workshop shorter. Obviously I use knives and what not in more advanced courses which have less people in them and who usually have some experience. DAS

Where did you get the 2017 reprint from? The link took me to the 2010 version.

[@DASBookbinding]

My mistake. There is almost no difference in printings of this book. There is only one edition of this book, and it is the 2010 edition. There are more recent reprints, and that link it is likely the most recent reprint, but even if it isn't, the books is almost identical. I've been in contact with Kathy Abbott to confirm this. I'll make a more detailed clarification in the near future. DAS

Thank you. Its all good. Just making sure I was not stupid :)
