Seconds!

These have flaws that do not significantly affect the usability of the book. Some of them you may never notice. For whatever reason, I'm not happy selling them at full price. 

Details of book and flaw are under each picture. I haven't post processed these photos but colour depends on lighting and monitor.

If you are interested in one of these, please click on the code (text under the picture) to email me. 

Seconds are A$39 + postage (A$14 within Australia, can arrange pick up in Randwick, Sydney).

Textblock has vertical 
undulations (Note:ground 
bookcloth is purple not grey)









 The cover doesn't fold
all the way back 
- but still more than a normal book














The thinness of the endpapers
has left some wrinkling 
near the spine 















The stitching on the front
is looser than normal. 
(Note: The cover 
cloth is more 
shiraz than in the photo.)

About Me

I'm a bookbinder in Sydney, Australia. In 2009 I began to learn bookbinding from the brilliant Rosemarie Jeffers-Palmer. I've documented my progress on this site

Notebooks are for using, not for storing on the shelf! I hope you find something here that takes your fancy.
