I am not a book binding expert, and I can see that the binding might not be the absolute highest quality, but it isn't bad. The biggest problem I have with mine is that the cover sheet wants to come off and might get a piece of tape to keep it on. I personally like my books to have a hard cover because they hold up better and had you not mentioned the binding I wouldn't have noticed it was less than perfect. So I would not let that convince me I must get a soft cover. I would still prefer this nice black bound hard cover to a paper cover. But then I am ignorant of the finer points.
Elias your work is really good. I wonder what those metal cross shapes in the ground are. And it is interesting how they mirror the shapes of the hinges in another of your photos. And I love that chest of drawers.

I got my copy last night, and was duly impressed by the content. Thanks Daniel for the effort.I am compelled to suggest (as a book-arts instructor) that you not opt for the case bound book, even though the sleeve is well printed. Save the few dollars for a roll of film. The book's format is much more suited to a soft cover, and the over-sized spine on the hard case is bit annoying. But that's me - I know too much. I might have to rebind mine...Elias --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx- Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe'in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
