I made three books, from scratch, in five days. Well, not from scratch exactly - I did not make the paper or weave the coverings, but you know what I mean

Picture attached, because I promised granite I'd post one. You can see that the books are amateurish and they certainly have blemishes, but I am rather proud all the same.
That is so cool Mast. I would like to learn how to restore and repair books.
