5½"w x 5½"h x ⅜" thick50 sheets - 5 signatures of 5 folded pages (10 sheets)
the book is made from kraft brown paper and black waxed linen thread... the cover is made from red posterboard and black waxed linen thread (with a good luck knot, a figure eight knot and a square knot)...
i looked in different places on the internet to find a tutorial for long stitch binding and there was not much available with video... so, after reading a little, i made up my own version of the long stitch for this book...
i have to say that this was more of an artistic project and, given the materials for this project, i do not believe this book would be very durable in the long run... but it was definitely fun...
