Sometime when my older siblings were little, my dad discovered that they found stories about his childhood more entertaining if he told them as "One time my friend Frederick..." instead of "One time when I was a kid...", and thus Frederick Stories were born.
I loved hearing Frederick Stories growing up, and so did all of my siblings. At some point, Dad decided to write (some of) them down, and a year or two ago I asked him for the file.
And now, currently in the mail to arrive late for Christmas, is a hand-bound copy of his book.
Two copies, actually, because I'm also sending one to his parents. He mentioned in the introduction that when he had first written these stories down, he had given them a copy for Christmas, and I thought they would like to have another, probably more nicely bound, one.
There's a third copy for me, but it took me long enough to finish these two before Christmas, and my copy isn't finished yet. Mostly, but not quite.

It is bound in a nice brown cloth I have, and titled with gold paint, because I thought it would lend it a sort of Old Book vibe that I thought would go well with the title.
Hence also the gothic font for the title.
I also did a few experiments with ways of turning cloth into bookcloth, which is why the two books are a bit different in color. The one on the right in the above picture is the original cloth color.

The edges are gilded with the same gold paint as the title is done in, which also helps with the Old Fancy Book vibe I wanted.

Almost all of the stories opened with "One day, Frederick..." or "One time, Frederick...", and I picked a nice ornamental font for the dropcaps there.

Athena: Hey, wanna try to overthrow Zeus together?
Hera: You.
Athena: What?
Hera: I'm choosing you.
Athena: ...as what?
Hera: As my favorite illegitimate step daughter.
Athena: ...oh, cool. Btw, I am not an illegitimate child since I was born in marriage-
Hera: YOU, I LOVE YOU, YOU ARE MINE NOW. WANT TO DO YOUR MAKEUP AND TALK ABOUT BOYS?
Athena: I don't really like boys-
Hera: EVEN BETTER. LET'S GO.

Trying To Communicate by @copperbadge for @saltyteethbooks for the @renegadepublishing mini book bang!
@saltyteethbooks did the typeset, and I bound it, and sent it over to them.

I'm supposed to make myself a copy too, but stuff happened and I wasn't able to bookbind for like half a month, after procrastinating the first half of the month, and I finished this copy on the last day before we were supposed to get them in the mail.
So.
I'll make my copy later.
It was fun making a sextodecimal book! It's a cute little size, and I'll probably make some more after this. This one might be a little bit of an odd size, because it's typeset for A4 paper, but I shrank it a little to print on Letter instead, and then the printer shrank it a little more because it likes to add margins.
So it's got A proportions, but is a little bit smaller.
The title is done with a new gold paint I got recently! Nice and shiny, and I only had to use one coat plus a few small touchups in spots.
