The next step in my edition-making is assembling all the pieces. I’m surprised by all the things I needed to cut — the pile below has
1. 8 page text block
2. front and back cover paper
3. book board for covers and spine
4. map folded photograph
5. the folded cover stock that contains the map fold
6. 3 pieces of paper for the slip case
7. colophon
8. label for slip case
9. book cloth to cover the front and back of the spine piece.
All in all, it’s 18 pieces of various kinds that go into making the finished book.
