First bookbinding project: done!

Okay, here's the result. I am very satisfied for a first try! : D

( Photos under cut )

It's an actual book! That I can put in my book case! : D From the outside, it actually looks a lot like my first edition of Flight of the Heron, except there's no title on the cover.

Here are the things I will do differently next time:
- Punch through the signatures with the awl from the inside, not the outside (see previous post).
- Not make the spine quite so rounded.
- Shape the bit of thinner cardboard that goes against the spine into a rounded shape before I glue it to the cloth (much harder to do afterwards!)
- Make the boards for the front and back slightly less wide.
- Get more practice glueing the end papers on.
