I worked as a student aide for a librarian who also restored antique books; he taught me how to handsew a binding, and glue and set the end plates and cover of a cloth/leather bound hardcover book. It's not as hard as it looks, but it is extremely time-consuming.<br /><br />And 300+ to be read books... Oh, my. That'll slow you down a bit.

Before I decided to delve into self-pubbing, we wanted to give my sister the story I had written for her in, well, book form. My wife did the cliche: asked Martha Stewart...<br /><br />http://www.marthastewart.com/270344/how-to-bind-a-book<br /><br />Yeah, there's an app for that. Or something. In any case, we followed the steps. It turned out pretty neat, made a great gift.

I'll have to feature a post about it - and one day, I'll write a story with wine making as a backdrop. My dad has been making wine for years - and it's pretty tasty if I say so myself. Surprisingly, it's quite easy. Our last batch was an off-dry white, Gewurztraminer. Delish! My dad's most coveted wines are his Cabernet and his Pino. <br /><br />Best of luck with the query letters.Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-33597442255113368972012-05-30T07:35:54.906-04:002012-05-30T07:35:54.906-04:00That course sounds amazing!
