A quick sneak peek :)
It all starts with the paper... tearing it into pages, staining it and folding it into signatures.
Then comes the sewing of the book block.
Followed by the gluing of the spine and rounding of the back. Like so it goes into the press over the night. Meanwhile all attention is directed to the making and the tooling of the cover.
For this hollow back binding the raised bands are attached directly onto the spine.
Then one of my favorite steps, selecting the endpages... Gluing them will attach
the book block to the cover.
the book block to the cover.
And finally, the last touches. The decoration of the cover with black and gold leather paints.

Wow Teo,
Just reading, it seems like I could smell the beautiful scent of tea while turning the pages.
I love this idea. I bet when someone owns this book, they will be indulged in the zen of tea scent!
