The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis

Paperback to hardcover recasing, dressed as Kewpie mayo.

Admittedly, the last few books I made or recased lack on the "original" and creative department OTL;;

The last few weeks I have been busy working on a fanfic bind collab, art commission and personal art project so that has been zapping most of my creative juice, and those simple recase designs a nice break in-between the works to reset my brain

✦ replaced the baby on the Kewpie mayo package with a queen chess piece, but added the baby to the backside since it is a rather iconic design element to the brand ✦ added a hat to the baby to make it resemble the queen chess piece - also a reference to the hat Beth was wearing at the end of the season finale ✦ massive shoutout to @/saladita12 for correcting my Japanese

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone

Another paperback-to-hardcover rebind

First time layering HTV vinyl, I think it turned out pretty well! The spine title and author names are done with reflective vinyl, which means if you turn on flashlight and look through the camera, the names will be more visible (see second video). I thought it was a nice touch to the book.

Book cover and dust jacket illustration are upside down on purpose, so you can decide which side you'd want to have on display
