Bookbinding (2 copies) of This Thing of Darkness by @maggieandthedragon, spring 2023.

This Thing of Darkness (Fantastic Beasts, Percival Graves x Credence Barebone) is a serious but hopeful look at the difficulties of helping someone face depression, whether it be for intervening in a crisis or the providing support in the long slog of continuing to get up every day. People are messy and difficult, but it is good to be together. As dark as it might be, we can receive help, and sometimes the help we offer each other is the most important thing in the world. It's no wonder this is one of the most popular works in the pairing tag. Recommended also for compelling side characters and interesting magic system additions.

-------------------------------About this project under the cut

This is one of the first fanfics I bound for myself when I started ficbinding last year. TTOD is one of my top ten favorite fics of all time and when I realized I could learn to do typesetting and bind fics I immediately knew I wanted to make a hard copy of this novel. My personal copy has a different spine because it’s part of a matching set of my favorite Percival x Credence fanfics; the set is almost complete.

Materials: text laser printed on archival paper; Italian rayon bookcloth, purple batik-pattern cotton backed with handmade wood pulp paper, bookboard, PVA glue, cotton cheesecloth used as mull. Stitched with cotton thread, beeswax, and linen tapes, plus embroidery thread and hemp cord for the endbands. Endpapers are marbled Italian paper by London-based artist Stephan Parenti (Peacock Paper studio) which I got on Etsy specially for this binding because I wanted it to be fancy.

I learned how to stitch endbands for this book as well. The bindings aren't perfect but I’m still quite pleased with the result. The whole time it’s been on my bookshelf I keep looking at it and going heehee I made a book ✨✨✨✨ Author copy has been mailed to maggiedragon.

bought the rest of the owlcrate trc set but oh at what cost (too many $$$ and my self-respect for ignoring their blatant adam and noah disrespect)

#it is bothering me beyond belief and i only gave them money begrudgingly #like. the adam girlies won’t be surprised i complained about this for at least 5 minutes to irl people who do not care #the reversible dusk jackets and endpaper art and bookmarks better make up for it or i’ll go ballistic #mish rambles

Text Block Dance Party: Tension. Demonstration of how loose I stitch on tapes when planning on backing, using the 1/3 page size w/ 3 folio per signature imposition. It can actually move further but this shows as far as it’ll go at ‘rest’ w/o active pressure being applied. ~440 pages w/ thread changes around the 70 & 250 page marks.

#normally I don't change thread colors but this demonstrates how far I can get w/ a manageable length I'm willing to work with #37 signatures #dimensions: 9.5cm x 11cm x 3cm #will be trimming it down to about 8cm which means- yes- it'll be a bit blocky #bookbinding #book arts #little book #animated #wip #I love love love love my fold up 1/3 layout #realized if I print at 100% (w/ reasonable margins) I don't have to trim anything and can fold to the edge of the page! 🙌#graph paper affixed atop thin sewn-in single sheet endpapers to protect them & to guide future trimming efforts

the ebook of The Buried and the Bound is currently on sale for $2.99, so now is the time to grab it! it's a witchy, queer YA contemporary fantasy about three teenagers fighting an Evil Thing In The Woods, and, in my totally unbiased opinion, a pretty good fall read

#books #booklr #if you are more of a physical books person there will be a paperback out in january too - same day as the sequel's hardcover release #you can also find a gorgeous special edition on owlcrate's site with a redesigned cover and endpaper art #many options
