Day 71 - An Accordion Fold Book of Quotes

Well, I didn't make A book today; I made 15. I've mentioned that I have a show this weekend and I've learned it's important to have at least one low-priced option for people who want to buy but don't want to spend much. This is that option.

You've seen this book structure here before. It's a simple single-sheet accordion fold glued into a traditionally constructed hard cover, made as you would for a codex binding. I cut Davey board covers and a very narrow piece for the spine (less than 1/4") and covered then with decorative paper. I glued a lining paper into the inside. The quotations on various subjects were printed out on a nice 70 lb felt finish ivory paper, accordion folded and glued inside the cover.

I have these with quotes on many subjects and from many people, including Oscar Wilde, Ghandi, Woody Allen, Dorothy Parker, and on Age, Love, Fishing, Peace, Marriage, Sisters and Cats. The photos of the "Peace" quotes book is representative of what they all  look like. Today I added several with Mother quotes, since Mothers' Day is coming up. I'm hoping they will sell well.
