Here are some of the books we've bound.
I'm not 100% certain that the images for two of these covers are in the public domain.
I am 100% certain that one of them isn't, and I shouldn't be using it.

Now! I could improve this by printing two books at one time, each on half the paper, so that we weren't splitting the grain of the paper in the middle.
I could improve it by using different paper for the covers.
I could do better internal typography.
But uhhhhh all of those things are significantly more work (or expense) than what I'm doing now, and the gains are marginal.
Some more pictures
I'm not very experienced in bookbinding.
This is the first time I've done it in 3 or 4 years, and that time 3 or 4 years ago was the first time I used this method.
I've tried *lots* of other methods over the years, and this is absolutely the first batch I've done that universally feels like it could have come off a shelf.
Even the ones I made using these techniques several years back mostly came out with lots of inconsistencies and problems, but this batch is pretty much exactly where I want it to be.
