I started getting interest in how books are made, and started making them by hand. My first experiment was not very good, but I learned a lot, and by time my second one was finished I had a good idea of how to do it right. On my third try I used leather, a more unwieldy but much more awesome material than the cloth I'd been using. None of the pieces I had were quite big enough for the job, so I actually cut three pieces for the two covers and the spine (pictured below).

I still made a few mistakes, which I corrected for my most recent model (the top two pictures).
