Completed June 2004
Background:
This was my third experiment with bookbinding. This style of binding is the easiest and quickest so far. Single section pamphlets have been used historically for short religious and political publications. This style of binding is still in use today. The most common single section pamphlet is a magazine stapled through the middle.
Materials:
For all the versions you see here, I started out by cutting and folding my pieces of paper to the size I wanted. I then cut a cover to size and stitched the pages directly to the cover. For the two origami covers, I folded the covers first before sewing the folios in.
Notes:
Multi-section pamphlets probably were not as common, but make great books for SCA use. This is also a great project for Youth Ministers and children that can cut and sew.
