ehydeI took a few weeks off from bookbinding to make sure I'd have enough time to finish Halloween costumes, but those are done now and I am free to return to books!
I signed up for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
renegadepublishing's winter exchange (essentially a secret santa), both the typesetting and the binding exchange. I can't say what they are but I'm almost done typesetting the first of them and I bought some cover paper for it today.
The other project that has a winter deadline isn't fanfic, but rather a collection of my granddad's letters from WWII that I'm typesetting and binding for my dad for Christmas. They're really interesting to read--not so much from a "military history" perspective; but more the mundane aspects of that period. Granddad had spent his whole life up till then in rural Oregon--he saw a lot more of the world than he probably ever would have, otherwise (and met my grandma, too).
I bought paper for the endpapers today, too--a marbled paper with a bit of an old-fashioned feel. I'll use an army green cloth for the cover (the red paper here is for the exchange fic).
