For those dyed-in-the-wool romantics out there, I'm certain the 2004 film 'The Notebook' holds a special place in your hearts. For those who haven't seen the film (no spoilers!) it is the story of Allie Nelson and Noah 'Duke' Calhoun, whose life-long love is retold through the pages of Allie's journal. In this video series I embark on recreating that journal as it might have been before Allie first set pen to paper. Part 1 covers the initial planning of the book, as well as sewing and trimming the text block and rough cutting the boards. In this video I will finished the text block by adding the ribbon and lining the spine, as well as assembling the case and covering it with book cloth. In Part 3 I will tool the decorative lines on the covers, pare and apply the leather corners, and finally attach the text block to the cover, completing the book.
