#SEE YOU SOOOONNNNNNNNN

another book delivered, and now i can talk about it! it was a pleasure and a delight to bind this one piece anthology for my wonderful friend @wytchcore / @toxinspired, just in time to visit elijah and @the-furthest-city-light for thanksgiving in (checks calendar) less than 48 hours. this bind also features art for elijah's title fic by the wonderful @starshipcaptainjojo (whose one piece volumes ive been using as photo props for the last year) and @nairi-0, found here and here <3

this anthology is a little quarto-sized bastardized three-piece bradel with a two-piece layered lotka and cardstock/chiyogami cover paper and chiyogami endpapers. the covers are 20pt chipboardwith cutouts exposing HTV titling on a chipboard/chiyogami-covered 50pt base, and the edges are faux-gilded with three layers of navy matte and light blue metallic paint.

the spine is very simply covered in black bookcloth, but i had the most fun sewing the endbands for this little bind. i spent two full days practicing a double-core version before finally settling on a single core medieval style inspired by some of of @ghostlandtoo's endbands. thank you ghost for being such a good sport about my interrogation--i couldnt have done it without you!! i also included a double-wound 4mm emerald green silk bookmark with a gold tangerine charm, because of course.

and now some typeset photos~

this was my first bind completed start-to-finish since april (with previous binds this year all having been started at least partially pre-april) and general mishaps (glue seepage, my enemy) aside, im overall very pleased with how it turned out--and even happier that its finally in elijahs hands... just in time!

this is the most devastating choice in this entire game
