this thing is called bai-bao-jia.The Chinese used it to store flat items about a hundred years ago.

I tried looking up “bai-bao-jia”, and also the words “zhen xian bao” which I later found associated with it, but I only got pictures of bao buns. So after searching for various iterations of “Chinese paper pocket storage” and so on, what you want to google in English is “Chinese thread book” to find lots of pictures, variations and tutorials.

Edit: to clarify, the reason I couldn’t find it with those search terms is cos the Google algorithm is shit now. As I understand it, those are the real (transliterated) names.

what resources did you use to get started with bookbinding? Ive been wanting to learn for so long but Im so lost <:)

I definitely understand that! I’d been interested in it for YEARS before I finally started last year. The biggest things that helped me were YouTube tutorials from Sea Lemon and DAS Bookbinding and the resources from @renegadepublishing here on tumblr.

For YouTube, there’s never a bad DAS Bookbinding video. This one on Stiffened Paper Binding covers a LOT of information all in one video but in a way that’s still easy to process. I’d recommend his series on a Case Bound book next, that goes a lot more in depth on things. For Sea Lemon, the two I’ve referenced the most are her Coptic Stitch Tutorial and DIY Hardcover Book. There’s lots of other videos they’ve both put out that I’ll play in the background while doing other things, but those are the best to sit down and actually learn from.

The Renegade Publishing group is a wealth of resources as well! The main Google doc here has a lot of links to resources. The number one doc I reference the most is How to Make a Book by ArmoredSuperHeavy that’s a tutorial from start to finish for typesetting in Word, printing, and binding. I’ve moved away from Word to Affinity Publisher for typesetting, but I still reference it because of how much good info there is.

If you have other questions, I’m happy to share tips or advice! The Renegade Publishing discord group is also a wealth of information if you’re interested in joining, I’d recommend sending them an ask.

I loved the lettering on your pride and prejudice book! How did you do it, if you don't mind explaining? If you do, no worries-- think it looks cool!

Thanks so much! I’m guessing you mean the title on the spine? The font was created based on Jane Austen’s handwriting, and I used a cricut to cut it out from adhesive foil which is why it’s so shiny. I’m so happy with how it came out!

The text of the book was formatted by queenofzan who also used the same font for the headings.
