Two standard household masonry bricks work as a book-press
and stabilizer in constructing your book. Wrap & tape the bricks.

Q: What if I want a different number of pages for my book?
GOLDEN RULE: The Key To Creating A Good Looking Book:
—The thickness of a book should be equal-to or less-than the width
of the spine.The total number of book pages is your design.
— You can replace kit papers with your own papers.Q: What if I want to add pictures or momentos inside the book?
Create 'shims' to keep the book from fanning out.
A Shim: Just cut away portions of the folio-page [replacing the
paper-thickness lost with your photo/insert].
Be creative. Use deckle-edged scissors to shim/cut in unusual ways.
Use onion skin paper or decorative tissues to overlay the photo/insert.Q: Why do you use two glues in making a traditional book?
At certain stages, a thicker more flexible glue is needed,
Q: Can I use my own cover material when I make my Limited Edition book?
Yes. Cover material fabric or paper should be thin enough to allow for creating sharp edges and corners in the folding/gluing. Paper is preferred and easier to mount.
Suggestions: Copies of photographs, gift wrap, magazine clippings, greeting cards, decorative tissues for overlays
