Finished Book With Back Rounded d. Glue strip of canvas backing, cut to 2 1/2"x6", against sewed edges and press the 1/4" strip of paper against the glue as it is forced thru the canvas. Allow to dry with paper attached as shown above. See third drawing in bottom row.

e. When dry (next day) glue these canvas projections to the inside of covers. Press firmly with one hand against a piece of scrap paper while holding the leaves of the book straight up from the covers. f. Insert a piece of scrap paper between covers and end sheets at both front and back of book, close the book, and put under pressure for a few minutes, or until next day. Be sure the back of the book is smoothly rounded.

Cloth Bound Book g. Cut two pieces of cover paper for lining, 5 3/4"x 7 3/4", or of such size as will fit properly, and paste against inside of cover and for a quarter of an inch up against the end leaves of book. Put under pressure of heavy books or into a letter press.

h. When dry, the outside of front cover may be decorated by a simple outline in water color.

Note: - Writing paper, drawing paper, or manila paper may be used in place of print paper, and any number of sections may be used, or several printed pamphlets may be sewed together. Economy of material and ease of manipulation will require that not over three or four sheets be put into a section and that not over five sections be used.

If hand screws or vises be available, the back of the book may be rounded with a hammer as shown in the illustration at the right of the lower row on page 50. This form can be suggested by working with the fingers. It provides a place for the sewing, and allows the covers to lie evenly.

It may seem desirable to start with a smaller book and make two books, or to omit the larger book altogether.
