once more. Turn the edges at the top
and bottom of the back in between the
covering and the back OF the book
and then with strong glue faSten all
the edges down firmly to the boards.
When they are dry paste the outside
end papers at the front and back OF
the volume down to the cover and then
put the book under a weight to dry
for three or four days.
1t is in ornamenting your cover that
you have an opportunity to make
really distinctive production Of your
volume. If the cover Is OF cloth you
may ornament it with coIored inks. or
you may apply panels or insets OF thin
leather or paper. Small photographs.
either plain or cOlOred. or Autographs
such as the miniature portrait OF Jan

book, that is. glued on very neatly and
fatty and then surrounded with
frame or ornamental border OF gliding
or coIored inks done directly on the
cover, are oftentimes very attractive.

Hand tooling the covers is too deli
cate and elaborate a process to be done
without a good deal OF practices. and a
number OF special tools are required
for the work. so that most amateurs
will be content to decorate their vol
umes in other ways.
Although these directions may ap-
pear somewhat lengthy In the reading
their application will be plain as the
work progresses. After the first book
has been bound the amateur will ind

the paper. but endearoring to shape it
in a perfect curve. the beginning Of
which will project little over the
board. When one side is smoothly and
evenly finished. turn the clamps
around and do the other in the same
manner.
Now you are ready to cover your
book. The two boards used for this
should be of heavy paste-or straw
board cut so that they will project an
eighth of an inch beyond the book
proper on three sides. and fit snugly
into the shoulder you have just formed
at the back. Punch a hole through
both the top and bottom boards. about
a quarter of an inch from the rear
edge, opposite each of the strings at
the back of the book. and another op-
posite each about half an inch nearer
the front edge. Push the boards up
tight to the shoulder and pass the
cords out through the first hole then
through the second hole to the inside.
where they should be fiattened out and
glued fast. Do not make the mistake
of pulling these too tight, as that
would give the covers an unpleasant
spring. Rub the cords down as fiat as
possible on the outer side of the boards
with the back of penkntfe, then put
on the head bands, strips OF calico
doubled, with a string in the doubled
edge pasted fast at each end of the
back, so that about q sixteenth OF an
inch projects. These are used to give
a finished appearance to the work.

The dealers in book binders supplies
sell a great variety of materials for
this purpose-linens of many shades
and textures, pebbled cloths and spe-
cially prepared feathers. Whatever
the material used it should be cut to
such a shape that when applied to the
book it will project about three
eighths of an inch beyond 1T in all di-
rections. Place the cover in position
