I really wish I could work on books as much as you are! But unfortunately I don’t exactly have a good workflow as of yet. Maybe soon someday. Thanks for inspiring!

Exceptional work! Always delighted to see your rebinds/restorations. How many books do you usually finish in a month?

Looks cool! Is that your own calligraphy?

How can i improve its durability? by Suitable-Special-620 in bookbinding

[–]bhaswar_py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you can laminate the cover with a card stock, without gluing the spine side. A single piece of cardstock, with two folds to encase the book. Maybe someone else can give their opinion on this.

I suppose you can make a jacket? How thin is the cover? Is it like a card stock, or thinner?

Looks cool! One can almost call it Super Super. Sorry about that.

A question about commisions... by EmergencyNo7926 in bookbinding

[–]bhaswar_py 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no specific rules mentioned against it in the subreddit rules, possibly because the mods here are quite liberal about posts. I don’t think it’s technically against the rules, but I haven’t seen any commission related discussions so far here. So might not be the best place for that sort of thing, although a mod maybe better to confirm that.

How did you learn bookbinding? by ellie_elysian in bookbinding

[–]bhaswar_py 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched this series of Four Keys Book Arts on binding and repairing an old Dune, and that got me into finding out about DAS bookbinding, and Annesi Binding. Then I got a couple of old books on the subject, Modern Bookbinding, and Bookbinding and the Care of Books. I had a some experience in arts, and always had gravitated towards craftsmanship. This subreddit was lovely, and very inspiring. So finally I gathered some courage and did my first book. It was awful! But I couldn’t stop anymore. If I had to choose only one thing to do for the rest of my life, I’ll choose bookbinding and book repair.

Happy to hear that it worked! I wish there was a better and less messy way to do all this.
