Physically, a bit of a challenge to bind; emotionally, extremely satisfying from start to finish. Very happy with this one!

I have made a 210mm x 210mm book before, but not one with this number of pages at this gsm! This beautiful book weighed in at a little over 900grams. Definitely the biggest book I have made to date.

Hello!! 🥳 I'm very excited to introduce HOUSE HUNTERS, a graphic novel that's been simmering in my head for almost a decade. Thank you so much to @janechunlit.bsky.social for being this story's #1 supporter, and to Tess for finding it a home at 23rd Street. I can't wait to share this with you all!

A purple and teal illustration of a woman in a warped stadium. She's looking up at a screenshot of the Publishers Marketplace announcement for House Hunters.

The announcement reads: "Kelly Bull's House Hunters series, the author's debut, about a woman who must fight her neighbors in a series of deadly battles in lieu of paying rent, pitched as Squid Game meets Scott Pilgrim, to Tess Banta at 23rd Street, in a good deal, in a pre-empt, in a three-book deal, by Jane Chun at Transatlantic Literacy Agency (world)."

I don’t have a lot of tools other bookbinders might use, so I had to improvise a lot. I’m not sure I’ll stick with this method, but I’m glad I gave it a proper try, and I’m really happy with how this turned out. 💖📚 Thank you to this book for being so patient and kind to me.

I tried the case binding method for the first time since I attempted it for a uni project a bajillion years ago and probably failed the entire subject (uni was rough man). Now that I am a much more confident bookbinder nearly 20 years later, this is my redemption arc. 🙌

Accordion hinge / Australian binding! Yhis bookbinding method does not require sewing, and is extremely nifty. 📚 Harder to get the precision right, but being able to easily remove and replace the pages is really cool, and could be useful for people using them as sketchbooks/etc.! 📚🌟

A coptic stitch notebook with French link stitches added over strips of chiyogami, and then the strips pulled through slits in the cover, because apparently I like making things more difficult for myself. This one got a bit messy and needs more planning for future books. 🤔

I used instructions from Hollander’s: hollanders.com/pages/secret-b… Apologies to the Hollander family, I probably butchered the instructions real bad 🫡📚

Had more fun playing with the cover than adding the pages

Kokocity @kokocity.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

I tried the Secret Belgian Binding method! Can’t say this was my favourite method of bookbinding. 🤔 I really liked making the cover once I got the hang of it, but adding the pages in was a bit of a pain. (So I probably wasn’t doing it right. 😶) Still, it was time well spent! 🙌🏼📚

I had been wanting to make this book for ages, and finally got the time to do so. 📚🌟 The red half has blank pages, the blur half is dot grid. I can’t explain it, but this book has a really nice feel when holding it.

@kokocity.bsky.social first step was finding the cube and then!! I'm hoping that a smaller size means I am more likely to bring it out and about to use than an a5. ❤️
