Finally finished another book this year! It's a small one, but I dearly love the story.

Bought the endpaper specifically for this story.

Finally got out of my months long flunk and finished a book again! And in one day from start to finish no less. The wonders of a new fandom. Which in this case is Kingdom Come Delivery with the wonderful story https://archiveofourown.org/works/63190291 from @guysarestripping

I just have to share something from this project even though it's not done yet.

That's 50% of the text blocks done. The third part is ready to glue and the fourth isn't even printed yet. It's by far my biggest project and I'm so excited to share it when it's done!

My most ambitious cover to date. Hand-drawn (I had a reference). I'm no artist and my hands and eyes are killing me now, lol.

I'm so happy I got a guillotine at christmas, the edges of the book are soooo smooth.

The story is "Mending" which is about recovery and healing after trauma while skirting sanity. I absolutely adore it.

As always, shout out to @renegadepublishing for being endlessly helpful with this hobby.

This story is the reason I wanted to start book-binding as a hobby, and after a few years of just wanting and not doing and another few months of binding several books, I had enough practise to start these chunks. The story in question is Stuck on the puzzle by @not-poignant . I followed it chapter by chapter as it was written and it's been in my heart these last eight years since it was finished.

Both parts are around 500 pages and by far the largest I have bound.

As always big thanks to @renegadepublishing for being endlessly helpful.

In process pics behind the cut.

I`m proud of my latest bind, Unorthodox Modifications by @bright-thorn . I Love the story so very much.

Thanks to @renegadepublishing for a great, kind community that helped me develop this hobby and always answered any questions I had.
