Fine paper binding

I just had the most enjoyable walk in crisp autumn weather after visiting Marimekko and Hemtex shops. My ears still tingle a little from the cold. I'm also excited and tingly about Etsy, but for some reason I can't get my self to just do it without thinking everything at least twice before actually doing something.

One more newly finished book. Next post will be about something a little different (books anyway, can't get rid of those darlings). This is a binding that was taught to me under the name of fine paper binding. I've never heard anyone else use that name, so if someone knows a better name, let me know.

Head and tail cover edges are covered with burgundy book cloth, the rest of the cover is handmade paper. Since the paper is pretty delicate those two edges are reinforced with book cloth making the book more durable. 96 sturdy white pages with burgundy end papers.
