Brookfield “Friends” Flat Back Book
May 5th, 2014 | Link

Brookfield Letterpress flat back book

The cover paper on this book is from Brookfield Letterpress. I’ve used their papers on a few projects (including the Pinwheel Book, made around the same time as this one), and I like it because it always looks crisp and sharp and it’s really easy to work with — it doesn’t curl or wrinkle in awkward ways when coated in paste! I think this one ended up going home with Cordelia.

Finished size about 6-1/2″ wide by 9-3/4″ high; 160 pages in Mohawk Superfine 100 lb Soft White text. Endsheets are Hannemühle Bugra.
