Making books covered in leather is always a challenging but most satisfying thing to do, no matter how many times you do it. We will be making a 19th century smooth spine, quarter-bound book in goatskin leather with decorative paper sidings. We will be making endpapers and hand sewing the text-block, taking the book through the construction stages, board attachment, leather preparation and forwarding. Trust me, it will be fun.
