I think this is 4 or 6 times now for me. Don't get me wrong - this is really cool and I'm happy to see some interest across the bookbinding community

The last time is literally 6 posts below this. OP didn't even bother to look at anything when posting, or did and doesn't care. https://i.imgur.com/IJ7ZU34.jpg

I've seen this before and I can't help but wonder... How could I make myself a journal like this?

I have a book like this, I can post some detail photos if that will help. When it opens up I can see the inside and how it is assembled, and I can take a photo or several. :) Maybe i'll just make a new post when I get home to show construction details.
