Your first one may not be perfect, but that’s okay! After a few tries, you’ll be doing this by memory and won’t even need the tutorial anymore. I encourage you to spend some time with this tutorial and give yourself plenty of practice.
Today’s Bookbinding University lesson is all about the text block. And when your handbound notebook is complete, you will revel in the perfection of that text block. Creating a text block is not a terribly riveting task, but it’s the most important part.
#MANY TEXT BLOCKS MAC#
So why all this talk about mac & cheese: Well, here’s the deal: text blocks are the “cheese grating” of bookbinding. Because we all know that perfect mac & cheese all boils down to impeccable grating technique, right? But then.oh…but then, when that gooey mac & cheese emerges from the oven, I can take complete credit for all of its deliciousness. It’s monotonous and repetitive and it sorta makes your arms tired after a while.
Thing is…no one really loves grating cheese.
Quite frankly, I’m pretty sure that Wisconsin has a shortage every Thanksgiving because of all the cheese I’m grating. My mom stations me by the kitchen sink and hands over huge blocks of cheddar cheese and charges me with the task of turning those blocks into mounds of golden goodness that would make Scrooge McDuck proud.
