it really annoyed me that i couldn't find a hardcover copy of the david coward translation so i did what any sane and normal person would do and decided to rebind it myself

#it physically pained me to tear the cover off #also it's my first time bookbinding so the final product is not perfect lol #if you peak at the inside cover on the second to last pic you can see little scorpions on the left (and grasshoppers on the right)#wish i took more process pics - but i cut the cover from mounting board and used linen paper to wrap it #i'm also printing a dust jacket and thinking about printing the title on the spine somehow #i'm quite possibly the most pretentious person when it comes to the aesthetics of books #personal
