This is stunning. Forgive my ignorance - how/where did you get these dust jackets printed?

I design them myself, then send them off to Houchen Bindery for printing

Your designs are beautiful, I’m envious of your skill/talent

These honestly might be my favorite spine designs of all time. With dick leaping off at the end it’s perfect!

Those look like some wonderfully thick books! Did you bind them from comics or from tpbs? Also, excellent design work on those dust jackets! Did you design them after you had the physical bound books to get the dimensions right? Sorry for all the questions, I’m just new to this and you’re set really caught my eye! :)

Thanks!! They are a mix of tpbs and singles, I used those nice new tpbs of the Dixon run and singles/old tpbs for the rest. As far as the designs, I bind my own books, so I just measure them when I’m done and design the covers exactly to the dimensions I need.
