Happy New Year!
adventures in bookbinding

You never know when a project will take you somewhere new, like the land of Tyvek. It turns out to be a fine, even favored bookbinding material. Used mostly for hinges, it's also popular for covering material like paste paper (and perhaps marbling?). In my case it came in the form of a preprinted map and worked well for a guestbook commission.
