Wood notebook 2011
For covers I use wood from an old leather bounded Gospel from 1860. Endpapers and corners are same piece of jute. Jute from inner side is bent to get the corners to outside. Front and back jute corners are connected with strings through which the needle leaves the notebook. Next step is to create proper buckle.

A book is a book is a book. All old books were, prior to the industrialization in England and Europe, were made by hand but it should be said that the original assembly line for not only making the printing or the writing (prior to the printing press) was first developed in the book industry. Ford did not have anything on Anton Koberger who not only held the first ‘book fair’ in Europe but became wealthy printing, binding and distributing his books, his competitors books and he was also selling ‘old books’ across Europe
