Kill your darlings by MesserMoon, a fantastic fic you could read at AO3 for free.
I love this story, and am happy to have it in my collection. That said, I can tell you that this binding was very eventful.
I think I will change my name to Not Perfct bindery. The two volumes of this book took me a long time, because I was buried in workload. It seems that every day I picked up this binding project, I made some mistake. The worst one was sewing the signatures too tightly so it was impossible to round the spine. Another mistake I made while cutting the fabric, as can be seen, the covers were in different proportions. This is my 60th binding; and I must learn that in excess of confidence lies the danger.

and it’s done! this is a birthday present for the love of my life who’s birthday is friday! (everyone say happy birthday soph <3) they mean the world to me so i wanted to try to show that through making something to reflect that love. this project was a major labor of love and time and there are so many things wrong but i won’t sit here spending the next ten hours pointing them out, so i’ll just say i’m proud of how they came out all things considered! the end pages are by guine_evere on instagram who was lovely enough to let me use her stunning art to tie the whole project together<3 i’ll be posting details for each book in separate posts!
#i’m actually obsessed with them tbh#i’m a little sad to be parting with them since idk when i’ll have the time to undergo a project like this again for myself#i have so many exams this week this has been both a gift and a curse as a distraction#thankfully it’s done 😭😭#i’ve also finished my AHB bind but i’m waiting for it to get where it’s going before i post. so look out for that#bookbinding#fic: all the young dudes#marauders#marauders bookbinding#fanfic bookbinding#wolfstar#atyd

Hi hello 👋🏻
I’ve finally completed my wrap covered set of All The Young Dudes 🙊
I actually need to make another set for my trade bc I’m not too happy about a few of the measurements and how this glossy paper worked for the wrap method (it was impossible to crease and scratched easily), but I adore the design. I went for a vinyl sleeve theme and hopefully it actually looks like that (does it does it??) 😂
THANK YOU a million times to @green-lights-33 for allowing me to use your stunning artwork for these covers. I’m absolutely floored by your talent.

The second book of solmussa's Only the Brave series is finished.
This time I had to use a different golden foil and boy oh boy was I disappointed. Lines of the border look much more jugged than in the first book due to a thinner foil and it was so difficult to work with. I was so bummed out that I didn’t even feel like finishing the third book.
I might order the foil I used for the first tome, but gooooods this thing is expensive.
Anyway, if someone is interested in the design or typesetted version of the text, just contact me and I'll share it. For free of course.
Looks nice on the shelf tho. The third tome is awaiting.

Bound: All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89
Well THIS took a long time.
I started typesetting it months ago. It's so long with a lot of chapters, and a lot of details. At first I split it into three volumes, but one would have been way longer than the others, so I resplit it into four, which I like, but just made it take that much longer.
Compared to the typesetting, binding it was a breeze. I purposely did not put any color on the inside so that I could just print it out on my laser printer. I put that thing through a workout! I had to stop and let it rest quite a bit. Poor buddy. Everything went smoothly with the folding and the punching and the sewing. I had fun making the end papers.
So lovely and clean and straight!
And then.
Then.
See, I was going to sand the edges instead of putting it through the guillotine. I even bought a power hand sander a few weeks ago. I was going to embrace the sawtooth, just sand the top and bottom a bit.
But for SOME reason I decided to trim the edges and, well, that was a big mistake.
Nothing ended up square. Everything shifted while cutting. The best I can say is that no text got cut off in the making of these binds.
As I was creating the cases, I realized that the boards (which I also cut with the guillotine) were not square either. It was all such a mess. But in the end, the text blocks fit within their cases, just not squarely. So looking at the outside of the set, you'd never know they're all cattywampus inside.
Moony says they look fine.
Oh, lovely!
Well, let's take a peek at the inside, shall we? I'm going to put them under a cut because it's a horror show.
Well, the endpapers are cute.
Oh that's not so bad!
OH GOD
Moony does not like this, though.
What's a "square"?
So, there you have it. Sigh.
Fonts: Chapters and titles: Krifon Body: Miller Display
This was supposed to be a gift for a friend, but I'm going to make a paperback version next and let her decide which one she wants.

Blood Sugar Sex Moony by @emeryhall and @spikesteaseasalt
Made my fist dust jacket
And front and back of the book
After reading „mixtape“ I could not resist recreating the tape cover for my book cover
Each chapter has a little image related to the chapter
Details in the book (separator and sound effects)
And it’s the first bind with my (new) logo. I blame TSOA (and the one who made me read it ❤️) and Canva for his existence

Art Heist, Baby! by otrtbs (@otrtbs)
When James Potter answers a mysterious ad in his local coffee shop, the last thing he expects is to be thrown into a world of white collar crime, but how can he resist when the mastermind behind the operation has dark hair and brooding eyes and promises wealth beyond James' wildest imagination? He would do anything for that boy named after a star, including stealing millions of dollars of fine art.
Pairing: Regulus Black/James Potter, Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, Marlene McKinnon/Dorcas Meadowes, Alice Longbottom/Frank Longbottom Fandom: Harry Potter
Disclaimer: otrtbs no longer allows binds of Art Heist, Baby!. This edition was first typeset and bound in May of 2023. Please do not use this post as a permission to bind Art Heist, Baby!.
Art Heist, Baby! was one of the very first jegulus fics I read, and eventually became my second-ever bind. The original binding for this fic was done over the course of a single weekend, which makes me cringe a little now—but I am still so proud of this typeset and the bind itself, despite its flaws.
Half-Letter | 219,117 words | 609 pages
Title and Drop Cap Font: Bodoni 72 Body: Adobe Garamond Pro Accent(s): Gill Sans, Futura Condensed
Typset by me in Word.
Designed by me in Illustrator.
Materials
Cover Bookcloth: Duo in Blue Jean HTV: Siser Brand in Gold Metal and Powder Blue Endbands: Mettler Silk Finish Thread Endpapers: Chiyogami Paper
Eventually, I found that the structure of my previous binding was less-than-ideal, and I decided to rebind my copy. Given that I couldn't change the typeset, I spent a lot of time deciding on a cover design, and eventually settled on using Ivan Aivazovsky's Ship on Stormy Seas (a painting synonymous with this fic) as inspiration.
The process of turning the boat from this painting into something that could be used with a single shade of HTV was difficult, but I eventually settled upon a design I was happy with after messing around in Illustrator for a couple weeks.
When I removed the cover from this bind, I also trimmed and painted the edges, sewed double-core french endbands (two-tone, to match the bookcloth), and reinforced the spine (though I couldn't do much for the pre-existing swell). Overall, I am thrilled with how it looks, and with how my original typeset fits with my more developed design style.
Thank you to Nat, for writing such a beautiful (and heart-wrenching) story. Art Heist, Baby! is free to read on ao3, here.

Alright! So I finished hand binding Crimson Rivers by @mayzarbewithyou :) this was my first time bookbinding so excuse the mistakes I am far from great, but all in good time! This fic basically changed the trajectory of my life so I thought I’d give it the love it deserves! the spine is regulus standing looking up at the tree and he is purposely put on the last book because he finally learned how to climb and grow. I’m so emotional over the end of the fic so this is very emotional to me. I did the typeset myself and there are some cool details I’ll try to put in another post, but basically I added all of Zar’s end notes as footnotes to the specific scenes he talks about! All very fun and the dingbats match the theme for the books and the backs each have quotes the correspond. I split it into 5 just because it didn’t feel right to have the epilogues in the same book as the war. They were two completely different parts of the story so I separated them. Anyways I’ll make another post. This was a labor of love and I hope I did it Justice :)
#bookbinding is hard but dear god I love this fic so much#i will never attempt a project this big again unless I finally read the COPTP and fall in love#I’m gonna bind art heist baby next👀#fic: crimson rivers#zeppazariel#marauders#wolfstar#jegulus#crimson rivers#sirius black#remus lupin#regulus black#james potter#lily evans#marlene mckinnon#dorcas meadowes#dorlene#mary mcdonald#marylily#peter pettigrew#bookbinding

this is the one. the most popular fic in the harry potter fandom. the fic that got me into fanfiction. the fic that i sobbed to for months after reading it.
i tried to bind this three separate times over the last two years and bro the first two sucked ASS. it was legit the very first fic i tried to typeset which is like, not the greatest thing to start off with LMAO. it looked funky, i hadn’t fixed any of the spacing, my footers didn’t match the text font or size. it was very much a baby binding.
the second one was my first time using a cricut and there is a very steep learning curve w the cricut, especially in creating designs that aren’t too complex or too plain. i tried to copy one of the popular printable book jackets and omg i spent weeks modifying my designs and printing and reprinting on my cricut and it looked like trash when i was done.
so finally, we have come to this.
i got really into quartos during the winter and was like omg the editing process for this would be so much more manageable if i broke it down into years! so then i did lol. it allowed me to customize each chapter into sections so i could add the chapter title to the footers, and break down graphics into separate years so i didn’t have 100 pages in one canva file. it was just a lot easier to feel accomplished having broken it down bc this fic is a MONSTER.
every chapter heading is the same - just the swirl. i gilded all the chapter titles using toner reactive foil and my laminator (she broke in the middle of this project. i ended up having to buy another laminator, and about 3 packs of foil from icraft. this is my most expensive fic binding to date🫠). i included the songs ms.kingbean put at the top of every chapter, and the bootleg tapes and christmas special.
i am seriously so proud of how this turned out, and can’t believe it’s actually done. sorry this is super long, but this really was a labor of love. they’re not perfect, i’m still really bad at measuring and cutting straight lines, but i’m satisfied. really satisfied.

HALLOWEEN BINDS (PART 1) 🧡
I had the most fun and also the most stressful time with this project (but the stress was from the hurricane lol). The 2 fics I picked to do hardback binds were so fantastical with incredibly unique lores that I've never read before. Here are some details of the first one:
✧ Chained to the Moon by MsAlexWP:
Cwdew navy bookcloth (Amazon)
HTVRONT blue htv
VINYL FROG metallic gold & silver htv
Foiled chapter pages
Typeset by me
Designed on Canva
✧ Slipcase:
This was funnily enough a last minute improv decision because so many things went wrong lol. Thee case was supposed to look scary on the outside while it holds two elegant books on the inside (just like how Remus is perceived in these two fics). Huge shoutout to mrsyoflam and togethertomes for their slipcase tutorials! I could've never done this without them!
Made by chipboard and covered with black adhesive leather
Wolf made with faux leather (instructions by LeatherHubPatterns)
