This is beautiful! I can't tell you how much enjoyed reading this and seeing your process. It was such a refreshing change of pace, back to the roots of true bookmaking. I'm reading The Untold Story of Books and it's so interesting learning about the history of printing and publishing. This article fit right in with my vibe right now :)
Thanks so much! That book has been on my reading list, I need to check it out. Bookbinding has been a lot of fun to dive into and merge with designing, it's given me a greater appreciation for how everything fits together. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm hoping to do more soon, I have two books I'm wanting to bind but haven't decided on a structure yet. 😅
The Flat-Style Australian Reverse Piano Hinge binding is a perfect match for the advent concept. I've worked on some limited edition projects and the tension between repeatability and craft always shows up around the 4th or 5th copy when the initial enthusiasm wears off. Using Tschichold's canon for the page construction is such a solid foundation, tho honestly adapting it for artist books is trickier than people think becasue the binding constraints are so different. The plastic sleeve compromise is a good call btw.
