I love the process of stitching the signatures together in the coptic style; maybe that's why I made nine sewing stations on this book (three or four would have been plenty). The stitching is arranged in a non-symmetrical fashion.
Here's a needle's eye view:
Then I glued the endpapers in. That was the hardest part!
Now the book will spend a couple of hours in the press, to settle it down. I may add a button closure to the cover later.
I've learned so much from making the past two books, mostly through my mistakes. I'll list my observations tomorrow.
