Lately I've been working on a number of cloth-bound books using old fabric I found in my aunt's attic. Here is the first one I've finished. The spine is a little less reinforced than I could have made it but since it's small and my first sort of test-run book, it's okay. The book is roughly 4" x 5.75". I didn't pay attention to the grain of the paper and board this time around, so the covers are a bit bowed from the glue in the photo, but I have since flattened it out. There are 68 pages of Canson sketch paper inside.
