Rebound: My Way of Life and Christ in The Gospels

Here are a couple of old Catholic classic books I rebound and made slip cases for. They both came out good. I read them both as devotionals as often as I can and they feel and look great. Christ in the Gospels is very difficult to find online now. I finished building a workshop in the backyard, so I hope to get more bookbinding done. That may be difficult seeing that I start full time school in about a week, work full time and have 6 kids and 1 on the way. Wahoo! Praise God.



 Marbled paper on the slip case. Hand tooled lettering on black goat skin leather. 


Hand gilded edges with pre-sewn  headband and tapered fore edges. 


My Way of Life: leather bound hand tooled gold lettering in a marbled paper covered slipcase. 



Both books on display onthe bookshelf. 


Green leather gold tooled label on front cover. As you can see in the next pic the color of the leather was a little different from the painted green edges. 


Marbled paper end-sheets. Ooh Ahh!


All papers, leather and lettering was hand made on original text block.
