Re: Abner Ravenwood Journal - WIP
This should hopefully be the last build along post, unless I've messed something up somewhere and I need to re-do any steps.
After applying the inside cover pages, the textblock was reinforced with a sheet of paper and a lot of PVA glue:
Once that had come out of the book press, I measured the textblock for the sizing of the covers:
A piece of grey/green cloth was cut which was 30mm bigger on all sides than the book board pieces. Those flaps were then stuck down to all sides, a piece of red cloth was also stuck on over the spine and then it was back in the book press while the glue dried:
The last step was to glue the inside cover pages to the main outer cover:
Then, again, it was back in the book press and that's where the thing is at the moment. Once it comes out I will stuff it full of all my inserts and take it out for some glamour shots
