My Booker Book is Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood.

The specially printed sheets arrived, sections folded and in the press over night.

I will be posting progress over the next 6 or so weeks.
Please note.... there are other studios/binderies doing stuff, spelling and grammar. Please further note, the opinion of the author may change at any moment. This is due to having an open mind of sorts.

Buried Book in a Box, after a period in the deep freeze the long careful process of separating the pages and drying out the book begins. The book is supported on a mesh tray to allow air circulation for an hour or so then pressed in wooden boards, to absorb moisture, under weights. Then an hour on the mesh tray... repeat, repeat etc.

Already the leather and boards have begun to contort and shrink, creating a new form perhaps, dare one say, a more sculptured form. Earth textures leave impressions along with the residue of insects, larvae, snails and other wee beasties.
