My biblionaughtic chums and other friends ....................Never
Mind...... The first completed book. Hand folded sections, hand sewn,
un-cut text block using 5 Seasons 110gsm recycled paper. 3/4 cloth with
hand coloured paper to front board. 82pp. A 5 format, 21.7cm x 15.5cm.
Each has an old school separate squared sheet to help those wishing to
write in a straight line. Blocked in gold foil on the back board... Hand made
in Studio 5 SW13..... Inspired by my youth and revolution.
I want combine two important aspects of my life. As Studio 5 is situated a mere minutes walk from the Record Shop and a
stones throw from the hub of the Arts and Crafts Movement...
Hammersmith.. (the phrase.. Arts and Crafts was coined by the bookbinder
Cobden-Sanderson of the very famous Doves Press/Doves Bindery, he went
mad eventually. However he and his small team printed and bound some of
the most exquisite books ever) I have used old school techniques, hand
sewing etc, coupled with a evocative text from the Punk era and Fanzines
of my younger days.
