Scattered Leaves: Bindery

Doing bindery on the folded signatures of the poetry chapbook.

Each individual poem was originally letterpress printed, illustrated with an original linocut print. I scanned the individual prints and high resolution, then reproduced them on the same paper as the original letterpress prints. The pages were folded into signatures in preparation to hand-sewn bindery. 

The covers were all letterpress printed, in two different editions, using metallic ink on art paper stock.

I used high quality book thread, and did a side stitch signature binding.
