Aw, thanks! Yeah, Henry's printing only 400 - no idea whether they'll sell out upon printing, or he'll have boxes in his basement for years to come . . . but you wouldn't want to take that chance, would you? ;)

The 20 handbound are going to be wicked pricey. They're collectors' items - but apparently, for Henry, that's the fun part of the project: hand-binding books at his kitchen table . . . Maybe I'll be allowed to come out and take pictures of the process, or hold the gluepot or something!

My check left this morning. I'm imagining what will great Henry when he returns.

Also, if you get to view his process and can take a guest....

Seriously? I'm thinking of asking if I can come out and watch the bookbinding (he lives in New Jersey) - he showed me photos he took of the last one he did. I didn't know you were a Bookbinding fan, in addition to your other Craftslinesses! If so, then sure, let's have a party! I gather from his Twitter posts (http://twitter.com/endless_bkshelf) he makes a mean hot chocolate.

I'm a fan of watching skilled people do something that they are passionate about. Plus, I love books (and spent a summer repairing books in my college's library) so it's would be a win. Wessell's books also appear to be gorgeous.

If the timing works out, I'd love to join you. I can bring hot cocoa, too, if need be. The good stuff, natch.

Mwah.
