Book 4/50!
Sit Tight Take Hold - Nieded
Think this is my prettiest bind to date 😍
It's a fantastic feeling when your family member says they're interested in reading a piece of fanfiction you love that they're not in the Fandom for 👏👀
Also it's fantastic to be able to bind works instead of having to sacrifice your soft covers to the mercy of spine benders 👏💀 like heck am I letting anyone bend my physical copies I got from @nieded 😂 they're far too precious!
Typeset isn't mine. It was charity purchased through Nieded (both original physical and digital copies). Inside is printed black and white so not as pretty as my soft backs which are full colour. Homemade book cloth, wanted to do a lighter background with rainbow/holographic htv but haven't got any, not disappointed with the outcome at all though! Went kinds penguin clothbound classic adjacent as been really itching to give that style of cover a go at least once!
Takeaways;
- Getting better with the trims but man sharpening the chisel takes mental effort to find gumption to do
- Tried out a slightly different method for measuring the grey board and overall happy with it
- Still a learning process casing in without it going skewed on me
Thanks again @nieded for creating such a wonderful story and doing the charity run for the prints as well as digital copies! My mum used to watch alot of F1 so to be able to share this work with her is a real treat!
Here's to getting the other two volumes bound for her to read 💪💪💪
