Today is day 21 of this project and this is how the pages are now lying between their designated covers on my table waiting to be bound. I'll show you some pictures of yesterday's work:

This is how the backed cloth looks like. The paper on the back protects the front from getting stained by applying glue. All three sorts of cloth that I chose for this project is pure cotton, by the way.

In the photo above you see my desk while choosing the covers for each book. Each unbound book block now has recieved a number (this does not correspond to the ordering in which they were printed). On the left hand side you see a stack of already cut cardboard for the covers. I checked them a last time, wrote the number of a book block on them, cut some covering cloth to shape and chose as endpapers some folded sheets of paper from those that I had in spare for more misprints. I'm going to glue a folded, not a single sheet to the inside covers.

Dann werde ich mich jetzt wohl mal ans Binden machen. Danke für's Lesen und bis demnächst!
Now I'm off to start binding. Thanks for reading!

The books are looking wonderful. I love the colours, they look very inviting.
Well done for all the hard work
Billie :)
Thanks, Billie!
It is good to get some encouragement on the way! It already takes me longer than previously estimated and I am very much looking forward to the day when I am finally finished.
I hope I'll be finished on day 27. - We'll see...
