Collection notes

At the binding bench.

A bound book takes its deepest colour at the hinge, where the leather folds back on itself. The warmer middle notes belong to the broad, unworked panel of the cover.

Give a private-press colophon a Hide Hinge border and print the edition number in Roll Chestnut on Awl Thread.
