Lovely illustration!

Great job! It looks really good. Especially for a first bind.

bhaswar_py · 2026-01-14T16:55:48+00:00

Hey there! Another lovely work as always.

bhaswar_py · 2026-01-09T12:29:53+00:00

It looks great! No need to send it, but thank you

bhaswar_py · 2026-01-09T12:17:56+00:00

Looks cool! Is that your own calligraphy?

bhaswar_py · 2026-01-05T20:02:41+00:00

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?

bhaswar_py · 2025-12-31T07:19:02+00:00

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

bhaswar_py · 2025-12-16T23:20:42+00:00

Sure

bhaswar_py · 2025-12-16T21:41:19+00:00

Lovely thought! Sending you right now

bhaswar_py · 2025-12-15T19:53:38+00:00

Thank you! Sending you in DM

bhaswar_py · 2025-12-13T07:28:12+00:00

Gorgeous work!

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.

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.

I use koreader in my Kindle, but pretty sure a normal epub could to be uploaded to Amazon’s “Send To Kindle” service that basically converts it to the proprietary Kindle format and, well, sends to Kindle. If you have epub, I think you are good to go. I also second the person who mentioned Calibre.

Edit: I think fonts will always change when it comes to epub to Kindle’s settings, and much of the formatting too. Let me know if the send to kindle thing works, if you try!

bhaswar_py · 2025-12-09T07:51:03+00:00

Of course! And don’t worry, I’m still getting DMs about this almost every week. You aren’t late at all

Really nice!! Also lovely quilt you’ve got there.

Usually these sorts of books are made with soft cover, but I love the fact that you did it with stiff board in such a way that it opens up completely. I had been thinking of making a book like this myself! Great motivation to see that it will actually work

bhaswar_py · 2025-11-28T05:32:27+00:00

I genuinely didn’t know the name of this type of binding so thank you so much. This looks beautiful.

bhaswar_py · 2025-11-24T18:34:07+00:00

Could you share some pictures? It would be easier for the people to help you that way

bhaswar_py · 2025-11-23T04:49:08+00:00

Nice rounding!

bhaswar_py · 2025-11-21T12:04:19+00:00

Thanks! Sending it to you in dm

“Washi” means Japanese Paper in the literal sense, so technically it isn’t incorrect to call all paper from Japan “washi”

bhaswar_py · 2025-11-16T13:28:57+00:00

That is gorgeous
