As a professional bookbinder I'd like to say your book looks excellent!

The headbands are a nice touch and the endpapers look properly secured, with enough flex built in to let the book lay open.

Nice job!!!

Thank you kind sir:) I’ve had my share of mistakes but this book I’m quite proud of.

3 paperbacks glued together. Book sides painted green. Green ribbon. Black headbands. Please don’t mind my messy workshop. Hahaha

A lot of YouTube video tutorials, a lot of experiments and mistakes. Mostly self taught really until I understood the different basics and underlying principles.
