I was getting a bit alarmed that I wouldn’t learn anything new in the bookbinding element of the course I’m doing this year, especially after we spent the first day’s class making a single section pamphlet....

But today I made this binding sampler. It’s got a recessed single cord, regular single cord, double cord, alum tawed thong (sadly, a bit thicker than it should have been, so it didn’t curl up nicely) and hide.

I’ve sewn the text block and put end papers on to protect it, but I’m not going to take it any further, just keep it as a sampler.
