My book (*) seems to be shaping up nicely. I've had the cover printed today, and had a four-page sheet printed again because I'd had to correct a spelling mistake. D'oh. Six copies ready. All I have to do now is sew, sew, sew and glue, glue, glue.

(Had to blur out my surname, you know how it is, internet weirdos and all that.)

(*) "My book" is actually a book I'm making from scratch for an exam (I'm doing a post-degree course in publishing). I wrote it myself (it's a history of women's fashion, 1930-1970). Did everything in Adobe InDesign, printed to PDF, and took it to a typographer just down the road. The sewing and binding must be done by hand, and we must do it ourselves. May the gods have mercy on me.

No, trust me, it's fun! Just wait until you see all the pics! I've been sewing and binding; over the next couple of days I'll be glueing the cover on, and cutting the edges. It feels so rewarding to hold in your hands a book you've made yourself!

More pics coming soon.

The glueing-the-cover-on bit didn't go very well, I really hope it doesn't come off 0__0 I should've used more glue.

Anyhooo, pics coming soon, I'm having a very busy week.
