Binding books

[ellenkushner]

 Lots more photos of the hand-binding process for The Man With the Knives are up now!  Mr H-- W-- has been a busy fellow.  I particularly like the one of all the biggest, heaviest books he could find, weighting down my slender little volume there at the bottom.

The publication party is tomorrow, Monday, in NYC, 5-7 pm.

 All are invited --  but please RSVP to: henry at jamescumminsbookseller dot (com) for a head-count.   I'll be getting there early to sign books to anyone who's pre-ordered (or "subscribed," as the publisher likes to put it) and asked for same.

I'll be there in spirit, and thinking of you!

Thank you! I feel sure there will be photos. (HW & I are such sluts about snapping them w/our iPhones....)

There's no way I can get there, but I preordered back when you first posted, so though unsigned, I'm stil going to have a copy of this beauty.

Very cool. I loved the endsheets.

I'm SO sorry I missed this. First, I thought I wouldn't be able to make it (as usual!). Then, we worked things out at home so I could. Yay! And THEN, I ended up working late. Gah! So how can I get one of the pretty books, anyway?
