And another.
This is an exposed-spine technique known as coptic binding. In the process of making this, I also learned how to make bookcloth, which is specialty fabric that is sturdy, easier to work with over book boards, and doesn't let the glue seep through. (it involves iron on adhesive, fabric, and tissue paper) so, two first attempts in it. I'm pleased with it. :)
