Book binding humourHaving moved out here to Southern France, I had more time to find out what was going on on the internet with regard book binding and it's allied trades. I soon met up with the Yahoo Bookbinding Group, who hold lively discussions on many activities devoted to the book arts. I began to receive mail from the group soon after joining, and for many months just listened to what was going on, and help out when I felt I could. I do have a sense of humor, and my mind began to see possibilities as various topics were discussed. These monographs are only intended to induce mirth, to all cat lovers everywhere, I have three pussies of my own and I am devoted to them all. Feel free to download them in .pdf format, at present there are two for you to enjoy.
Just click the images to open the .pdf and then you can save it on your PC.
The first monograph called Feral Fun drew hate mail from cat lovers everywhere. In fact I adore cats and have three pussies of my own.
“Feral Fun”
or How to Make a Moisture Proof Barrier from Freely Available Resources.
The second monograph concerns bookcloth. So many modern bookcloths lack any character, this little offering drew a lot of praise from people, I hope you find it amusing.
