Today’s Acquisition

by catherine on January 16, 2009

Yes, I know I supposed not to buy any books at the moment, but Hand-Made Books by Rob Shepherd is to support my adventures in the noble art of bookbinding.  I’ve had only one lesson so far, but I can see it’s something from which I shall derive great pleasure.  At the moment my brain has gone into a spasm of horror at the thought of learning anything new, but the crumbling Victorian volumes on my shelves are looking at me imploringly.  However, it’ll be a little while before I trust myself with any of those darlings.  In the meantime I shall make tiny notebooks and probably cover myself with glue.
