Size: Petite/Legal 16mo (roughly 9x6cm)
Copies: 1
Catching up on my end-of-the-year projects. This was a typeset shared on the Renegade Bindery's discord server so I can take no credit for anything except the font choice for the spine (Old Wood) and the holly on the cover (canva clipart).
Petite/16mo means 16 pages per side of legal paper, so this was pretty small! My printer isn't great at lining up the text on both sides of a sheet - it's about 1.5mm off, which is really noticeable at this scale. But once I had things trimmed smooth and nicely bound it didn't bother me as much, and I'm really pleased with how everything turned out. I'll probably be making a lot more for Christmas gifts when the time comes again.
And as a bonus, the HTV went on with absolutely no issues. That's a first!
