Did you make that?

I did! Delivering to the new owner this evening. Have another that I need to get started

That's incredibly impressive! Did you make multiples like 'wholesale' or is that a single book?

This is a single book. I had the text block sewn and a friend asked if I had anything ready to buy, so I just cased it in. If I ever get my act together I could start making these in bulk, but not a priority for now. More of a hobby that earns me some sats from time to time

Where do you supply end papers?

You'll love this place. Mom and pop bookmaking and paper shop in Michigan. Support them if you can. https://hollanders.com/collections/bookbinding-supplies

I wish I could buy from there. But the shipping costs to Canada are INSANE. When I can afford very large orders it might be worth it.

Fascinating! I’ll definitely check out their site!

Thats unfortunate. I imagine there are some paper and bookmaking suppliers in Canada?

Not really. I didn't find anything really interesting. I take my boards, glue, head bands, mull... All from Amazon. End papers I take linen textured cardstock from Micheals.

Damn, makes me sad there seems to be less and less specialty paper and bookmaking shops around. Even Hollanders has been carrying less and closed their physical store's location
