Here are several handmade books I produced for the tour reports we turn in after grad school trips to New York City. Sorry for the blue cast. The window light was showing a little cool tint.
My first tour report book. I bought an old $1 book at the Strand Bookstore in New York and removed the cover. It had that old, dirty feel the subway has there.

Here's the entire book folded out. It has a double hinge so it can fold out in a kind of panorama.
Another Strand appropriation. Cheap and cool to use, those old books!

This is probably the cleanest, most lovely binding job I've done on a book. I love the patterned paper. The paper, binding cloth and cover board all transported on the plane from New York. Not easy!
