It’s been some time since I’ve done any bookbinding. Here are three blank book blocks, 4.25”x5.5”, done in Reich Savoy 100% cotton paper. Cotton tape, with some washed muslin I had laying around for mull. My next step will be to cut the boards and attach them to the block. I’ve no idea what these will look like when finished; it will depend on the materials at hand. I have a small selection of marbled paper from my last binding project, and a reasonably extensive stash of cloth and leather, so I ought to be able to figure something out.

Feels good to have the presses out again.
