It’s getting to be indoor/dark early season here so it seemed like a good time to revive the Shelf Tour series. As I’ve written before I’m not very arty in the summer but I’m back at it now that it’s fall, looking for crafts to do. This book I got at the 17th ave Fair’s Fair before they closed is one I’ll pick up now and then because I think “oooo making fancy books how cool” but nooooo. This isn’t a book for the casual crafter such as myself who wants to make a couple neat little chapbooks. This is the real deal, for those who want to make hardcover cloth or leather-bound books and it is hardcore. I suppose I might use it one day but I really doubt it… I’m much more dilettantish when it comes to book production. It feels cool to have this though… it’s neat to read about how it’s done even if I’m never going to do it myself.
