Here are my Discworld stamp yearbooks. I was only going to make the one Year 2 but thanks to the printing error, the purple edition is bounding using perfect binding and the green one using a sewn binding, both of which have starred as the models in my tutorial on how to make a hard cover book.
There are a few things I would do differently (don't worry if you're following the turorial- I went back to edit the odd detail I wished I'd changed!) I love the texture of the green version, it's the same as my Year 1 volume but since I can't get that paper anymore I have to be thankful that my indecisiveness when buying the original paper meant I had the paper in green (I also have it in blue and black so I'm good for at least 2 more years worth of volumes!) I also wish I'd left a bit less space between the spine and cover (I used a bigger gap than listed in the tutorial).

| All they need now are the stamps! |

| Two different styles of headband. Purple pre-stitched on fabric, the green using a more traditional method |
 |
| I love marbled endpapers. My own attempts at marbling have not had the same great colour intensity so these are hand marbled papers I bought a few years ago |
 |
| Hand written spines. I would love to have a more professional look but it requires rather specialised equipment unfortunately |
