Episode Eight: Five Yellow Magic Notebooks

In the last month or so I got carried away with making editions (more than one book) and this is the second set. Yellow blank notebooks with a coptic stitch, red inserts to add color to the spine, and endpapers I made myself from two photographs of the local area: a temple and a bunch of cherry trees in full bloom. I liked them, although I ripped the snot out of a hole in one cover thereby botching in terribly, but the other four turned out well. I gave three away as gifts for favors done for me (two interviews). I gave a fourth one away because one endpaper wasn't a photo of the cherry trees but of the person I gave it to. She was quite surprised when she opened it and saw her face because a) she wasn't expecting to see herself in a notebook and b) I took the photo on Thursday evening and gave her the notebook on Friday morning.
I don't say, actually, that I 'give' my creations away; I say I 'release' them. Sounds more... catch-and-release dramatic in a macho kind of way.
Here are the covers of the Yellow Notebooks. The first one, with the busy work on it, is the one I gave to a friend - the one with her picture inside. More photos of both the Yellow notebooks and the Green notebooks (described in the post below) can be found at Tedorigawa Bookmakers. Please enjoy.
