Episode 15: Ought Nine Is Closing In On Us
Ought nine is just around the corner. (2009 for you youngsters under the age of about 90.) While I should have started my calendar making several months ago - and actually, I did start several months ago - last June as a matter of fact, but I didn’t finish the preliminaries.
Prliminaries: getting a 2009 calendar, [...]

Fourteen Books In What?
Life gobbled me up and spit me out and I didn’t finish the fourteen books in fourteen days but I finished one. And three more are in a variety of stages of unfinished which, given a few more hours, they will be in a different variety of stages of unfinished. However, I am enjoying trying [...]

Animal/Insect Mash-up Supremo
Here is an odd duck, so to speak. (You have to turn you computer sideways to see it properly.)
It is a Chinese stab binding, B5 size, 11-page book with Japanese and English words for animals and insects (Fox, cat, dog, cow, snail, cicada, etc). The Animal is 動 and the insect is 虫. It is [...]

One Rough Customer
Tactile. Touchy-touchy. Very light.
These are a few words that describe this book. As you can see, the cover threads are bare; you can see through them to the rough yellow paper I used as endpapers.
I bought the red cover paper a long time ago and have been trying to figure out what to do with [...]

Episode Eleven: The Triangle Book
This is the Triangle Book. It has wooden covers, coptic binding and about 168 pages of an off-size: as tall as A4 but not as wide (because the wood wasn’t as wide and I didn’t feel like gluing more wood to it.)
It also has five strings the same color as the binding hanging down from [...]

Episode Ten: The July Book
The July book was going to be a book with wood covers and an inlay of a different kind of wood, coptic binding, lined paper, with pictures on some pages and nicely carved. Ha!
Now it’s August and I can’t get the inlay to lay right. What a life. I mean, straight line. We shall see [...]

Episode Nine: The June 6th Boook
This is the June 6th Book (part of a plan). It has yellow lined paper and wooden covers. That darker strip is mahogany while the rest is a lesser wood. Coptic binding, of course, with green waxed linen thread.
It has six signatures of six folios for 144 pages and, if I do say so [...]

Episode Eight: Five Yellow Magic Notebooks
In the last month or so I got carried away with making editions (more than one book) and this is the second set. Yellow blank notebooks with a coptic stitch, red inserts to add color to the spine, and endpapers I made myself from two photographs of the local area: a temple and a bunch [...]

Five Green Notebooks
Zipped through five green notebooks last weekend except I ran out of green book cloth so one is actually beige-yellow using Japanese paper. I learned a bit about making hardbound books and am eager to start making more. Another set of five. With a different amount of book cloth. More book cloth. And better end [...]

The Second Times the Lucky Charm
Last week I saw an empty cereal box then a pile of unwanted (sob, sob) paper which had been used only on one side and my brain said: Book! Book! I thought at the time my brain was warning me away so I ran six and a half miles in the wrong direction. Dragging my [...]

Tedorigawa Bookmakers Episode 5: Samplin’ the Days
I went to a book/stationery story to check out diaries and desk calendars today to find out how other people handled the odd-number of days in a week. Most had an extra column for ‘notes’ making their calendars 8 columns wide, four on one page, four on the other. This seems like cheating to me. [...]

Tedorigawa Bookmakers Episode 4: Doin’ The Scroll
I finished making a box for a book and two small notebooks using Islamic bookbinding; Islamic bookbinding has, as you know, a little flap that rests over the cover of the book to protect the text block and can be used as a bookmark. I’m still working on a scroll. My first scroll - Monk’s [...]
