Episode 58: The Islamic Wave Book

Recently I have been looking at other ways to bind a sheet of papers and I ran across the Islamic style. This has a flap over the front edge to protect it from wear and tear. Often used with qurans and other books the binder felt needed protection. This book, to your left, is my first attempt. It's about 128 pages of 8 signatures of four sheets each, I think.
The paper is a Japanese-style paper I picked up at a local paper shop (recently opened) and not the cheapest pulp in the place. But it looks nice, along with the green bookcloth. I also combined the same wave-y paper with black bookcloth on the spine to make a birthday present for a friend: another blank notebook of about 128 pages
As you might be able to see from the photos, the Islamic bound book is A5 and the birthday book is B6. This year's New Year's resolution is to bind more in more different styles and get more expertise under my hat. Perhaps this is a good start. My current project is another birthday present: Islamic binding, again, with more pages.
