季裝皮革筆記本

終於完成一本精裝皮革筆記本,一本簡單的筆記本,若是每個環節都依照古典的歐洲裝幀方式,一本做下來也得花上幾天時間呢!
I finally completed a leather find binding notebook. If every step strictly follows the historical European binding method, it will take a few days to complete just a simple notebook!

此筆筆記本包含了許多步驟,像是法式縫法、圓背、手縫書頭布、書脊上的棉布藏進厚紙板中、削皮革、黏上小羊皮及襯裡布(書皮)、壓紋、燙金,最後封面內側填入與皮革相同厚度的紙張,再貼上環襯(蝴蝶頁)。
Incorporating an array of techniques, this notebook is created in many steps: French stitch sewing, round/hallow back, headband, casing-in, leather paring, pasting goat skin and book cloth, hand tooling, foiling, then filling a piece of paper before pasting down the endpaper.

*精裝書的裝訂形式主要分為滿裝、半裝,以及季裝。季裝(又稱四分之一裝)表示該書的前、後封為一種材料(紙或布),而書脊至封面出邊覆蓋了皮革或書布。
There’re full, half and quarter binding. The quarter binding means the leather/cloth covers the spine and extends onto the cover slightly at the spine-edge.
