And now, some books!

The purple book I especially like because of the pastepaper cover. Being new to making my own, I didn't know that it's bad form for the pigment-and-paste mixture to have tooth and texture. On the other hand, the book has been used semi-regularly and only shows wear at the usual places (corners, hinge, and tail of the spine) and nothing's flaked off yet.


These blue books are rather smaller than the purple one; they measure abut 4" high and 2.5" high compared to the purple book's 9" height. This pastepaper is more traditional; there is no texture and the colors are more reflective of their wateroclor nature.
