Starting to come together.
Boards finished, text block finished, spin finished.
Leather for label ordered (went with black, btw), hot-foil dies ordered.
Next week I will probably prep the leather and depending on how long that takes, put the leather on the book. After that, another day, I will be stamping the labels, cutting them out and putting them on the book. I might be done in a month two.
Or, rather, "done". The final piece will be the spine design, which is as of yet unfinished. I will probably wait as long as it takes for Bakker to acknowledge that he has seen my request for the title translation. Maybe I'll go Shawshank Redemption and write a letter a week... Once I get the final design I will commission one of the binders to hand paint it on (or something, I'm still vague on the details), no idea how much that will cost or how long it will take.
