A Year of Books

This isn’t a complete family photo, but it’s the closest to complete, as I’ve gifted majority of them, and I’m left with three of the nine.

Last year on the 21st of July, I finished my first ever book.  It’s strange how long I’ve kept this hobby for, and it is actually my longest running hobby. All my past ones have merely lasted a few months, then I ditch and never revisit them. Someone did mention that bookbinding is 30 different hobbies in one, so I suppose that explains why this has stuck with me for this long. I planned several projects during the summer of last year, and I am still surprisingly enthusiastic about completing them over a year later.

Given my tight schedule, I managed to bind 9 books: 2 fanbinds and 7 notebooks. How ever underwhelming, I am very satisfied with my progress and learnings from my few creations. Most importantly, I am incredibly thankful for all the lovely friends and folks I’ve made and met through this hobby. If I'm being honest, it can be quite alienating in real life to have such niche interests, so to find folks who share the same enthusiasm and are happy to geek over unorthodox things with me brings an indescribable feeling and I treasure every single one of you!

Now, I make it a point that I try something new with every bind I make, and as this is my little binding archive, allow me to quickly share everything that I made in the past year.

Bind 1: An architecture sketch notebook for my brother

Bradel binding covered in homemade bookcloth

Trimmed with an unsharpened chisel (I wanted to test its performance pre and post sharpening)

Bind 2: Birthday notebook for my mom

Three-piece flatback Bradel

Flower embroidery on the spine (My first foray into embroidery and I did it without the hoop so do excuse the quality)

Bind 3: My first fanbind! Love and Other Historical Accidents

Three-piece InBoards Bradel

The book I am most proud of

Bind 4 & 5: More notebooks (for dad and uncle)

A three-piece bradel and a regular bradel

Used this lovely Chiyogami paper from Itoya

Bind 6 & 7: First quarto and coptic stitch (more gifts)

Learned that trimming quartos with a blunt knife is (obviously) not good

More beautiful chiyogami paper

Bind 8: 2nd Fanbind! and more Pacific Rimbaud

20 minutes of figuring out how to arrange quarto pages

The most setbacks I've ever experienced. Something went wrong every step of the way

Bind 9: A Planner

This bind made me realize how much I love rounded spines
