'Trace' bindings

I completed the binding today...this is in fact the largest book I've made...I have decided not to include a hard cover but rather a folded wrap around sleeve...it seems to allow it to breath a little...the book itself reminds me of those Readers Digest world atlas volumes that I think every home in the 60's and 70's must have owned...making books can be addictive...I want to make a complete series now...perhaps 7 volumes...each one exploring a variation of the notion of 'trace'...as I knew all along with the sequence of the pages remaining a random act of creating relationships with previous pages and the present at hand, some of the relationship will always be a little uneven... but I am happy with the overall feel of it...it is a little more curious and surprising than I expected...if you haven't yet tired of it I will post images of the interior pages tomorrow...sp
