Babel, An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang

The front cover of the book features the English title of the book hand foiled in gold. Around it are Bible verses written in Cantonese Chinese (Genesis 11:8-9) hand foiled in silver.

The back of the book is like a mirror of the front except that it has the Cantonese title of the book hand foiled in gold, and around it is the English translation of the same bible verses.

“So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”

Volume 1 of my fanbind of @badninken’s fic little hearts is complete! it consists of chapters 1 - 8. all art is by the author themselves! i feel so blessed that this fic has such beautiful banners and art that i can incorporate into a faithful binding! i ended up not adding extra images in the typesetting due to microsoft word kicking my ass, lol.

duplexing is a bit jacked up, but ye ol’ printer’s a cheapo—not much can be done there.

as this will be going on my bookshelf, I figured i would share the comparison to the english edition of Novel: Law, of which i based the book proportions off of 😁

now, off to volume 2! (in which the boys introduce Kirk ***Krik (we love autocorrect) probably my favorite original character ever written in fic, and live in a swallow-shaped mountain for several months. godspeed to them!)

🕯️ Fanfic binding of @chdarling 's The Last Enemy Series.🕯️

I was originally not going to post this, but I thought - why the heck not. All my love goes out to C.H. Darling. This Marauders fic has brought so much comfort and whimsy into my life, and it’s been a privilege to have this sitting on my shelf, waiting to be re-read again and again.

Honestly, this long-term project has helped me through a really stressful period of my life. Putting this together has brought just as much comfort as reading TLE, no regrets!! For personal use only. Never resell fanfic. Please ask permission or check an author's FAQ before binding fanfic. You don't need fancy supplies to bind, and there are a lot of tutorials, budget friendly options, and ways to achieve binding your own copy. Details:

• Typeset created in Word. Graphics from Canva. • Text block using 80gsm copy paper. Coptic stitch. Rounding and backing. Oxford hollow.

• Book cover using recycled book board, paper shopping bags, and 120gsm paper. Cover art by Heinrich Gogarten and Frances Ridley Havergal. Printed with Inkjet.

• Endpapers designed in Canva. Printed using Laserjet. Foiling done using toner-reactive foil & a laminator.

❤️

337 days ago, Steve Harrington realized he liked guys.

329 days ago, he learned the word “bisexual” from Robin Buckley.

And 180 days before that there was Eddie Munson.

Eddie was—

Well, Steve learned not to focus so much on Eddie in the year he’d been gone.

Eddie leaves Hawkins to pursue a music career and makes annual visits home for the Holidays. Steve has some feelings about it.

❤️
