Bookbinding of Wires got the best of him by TheBigCat @perfectlynormalbooks, June 2024.
Tiny book one for this year's Renegade Tiny Books Bang! Typesetting by the author, who collaborated with me to choose the colors and cover design for the book, which I bound. Lovely to work with you :D
Materials: Text laser printed on Hammermill "cream" archival printer paper. Covers and tapes made of two different colors of blue Verona bookcloth, with cover design painted on with gold metallic nail polish. The binding uses cotton thread coated in beeswax and archival PVA glue. Endpapers are marbled Italian paper by London-based artist Stephan Parenti (Peacock Paper studio).
I have successfully used non-structural endpapers on this, I forget what it's formally called, but anyway the pages are held to the cover by the tapes and stitching. Compare this to modern mass-produced hardbacks, which are usually held in by the endpapers: that's why many books can be accidentally torn completely out of their covers, especially if the book is thick.

We recently received a new shipment of manuscript goodies, here is SIMS Curator of Manuscripts unboxing the first item: a very small Italian book of hours - now the smallest in our collection! Perfect for #YearOfHours, we'll get it cataloged and digitized soon.

My first REALLY tiny book, a bind of Four of Swords. A sextodecimo! This lil guy is about 3" x 2 1/4" and is bound with actual cards from the miniature edition RWS deck. Because of the fun tarot imagery I'd been wanting to bind this one, but it's so short, just about 5000 words, so it had to go really little :3
Printed on pop-tone white from French, spine and sword detail done with HTV. I printed the main narrative in black and the flashbacks in blue, for visual separation, and the endpapers are of artwork done for this fic by the incredible @sandwichartistdatzu !!

I had a go at binding this lovely tiny typeset of the Raven by @renegadepublishing typesetter Aiden! Although I've done it larger than the typeset was designed to be, this is still the smallest book I've tried making, a teeny little sexidecimo! <3
This was my first time using endpapers that I'd marbelled myself. I bought some really cheap marbling inks intended for kids, so I'm pleased they worked out ok!
It's bound in dark navy bookcloth, and the design on the front and back are acrylic paint applied with a stencil.
Here are some work in progress shots:

A9-ish sized notebooks... Handmade book cloth on the first set, blue-grey cow leather on the second, hand marbled endsheets I did a little while back.

Bound: a wee chonk
I am a big fan of @moonflower-rose’s fics. No one does pining as well. And this duo of fics, the Summer 2009 series is just gorgeously written. I wanted to practice making tiny books, and these were the first fics I thought of. They’re a good length for this size bind - 12k and 20k. And because they go together, I thought it’d be fun to make them as a tete beche. (Dunno if I’m using that correctly. Is it “in the tete beche style”? Or is it a “tete beche”? Not quite sure.) Anyhoo, the point is, you can read the Harry POV from one end (Poppiholla) and the Draco POV from the other (Hoppípolla).
I’m glad I made this, not just because I adore the fics, but also because I learned a lot while doing so. (Wider margins!) I wasn’t about to let this lil peanut near my big bad guillotine, so I sanded the edges instead. Not a ton, but just enough to smooth them out a bit. I need to work on my patience while sanding.
In any case, I’m thrilled with how it came out. The book cloth (Dubletta in aqua/purple) is just beautiful, I’m so glad I kept this scrap of it! And the holographic HTV goes with it perfectly. (Some Cricut stuff I got on clearance.)

Y’all I made a tiny book. It’s about 3in tall. It’s a little wonky.
I am fixated on Gravity Falls right now and I just want my own journals like Ford. So I made a journal with my own symbol on it.

Another small book. I made this one for my mother. I haven't shared every page, as some are personal. I love making textile books; playing with edges, applique, beads, patchwork, lace-making - it's just a great way to play with different techniques.
