Lovely job Phil.
I was taught how to do that at school way back in the 50's. Never got round to it but always enjoyed doing it at the time!

Really nice job! :Thumb: :Hat:

Reminded me I did a book-binding course 'so long ago I'm not prepared to say how long ago it was'. I'm looking hard now at one of two of the 'slightly scragged' volumes on the shelf...

I am really proud of that!
And so you should be. Looking at the result, nobody would guess it was a first attempt - more like something you've been doing a lifetime :Hat:

Very nice job Tengisgol,those endpapers look very well matched to the books subject. Did you manage to find a way of putting the title on the spine? Printing and sticking on a label would not be too difficult but you'd need some damned reliable glue. If you do any more I'd love to see them.
