Books Five and Six
They say that after you bind your first hundred books, you can consider yourself to be a practiced bookbinder. This weekend I took Bookbinding II down at the San Francisco Center for the Book where we made two more books, getting me to six total, learning how to do Bradel binding and to work with decorative papers. Pica meanwhile went down to San Francisco with me today and had a grand time touring the city, returning home with sock-knitting supplies!

Numenius Too cool that you are “binding”!!
My ex brother-in-law Donald Glaister is a terrific book binder and is wife Suzanne Moore is a painter and lettering artist. I have a leather book case he gave me for Poe’s Poems.. It is beautiful.. I’d love to show you it sometime.
Pica, I wish I had a video of you at the Foxy Fall yesterday. It was terrific to see the excitement you had when you saw the “sock” knitting at Wolfskill rest stop. Ham Radio, Yes! Knitting, YES!!! You’ll have to post photos of the socks as they are knitted!
Wow! Very handsome.
Beautiful!
Looks like you’re a total book-binding pro now!
Pica, I, too, want to see pics of your socks. I’m currently working on a pr using yarn that has chitin in it (of all things!).
Greg — wait — not Suzanne Moore who lives in like Northampton? I bet it is. Wow. Small world.
When I lived in Boston I went to hear a talk she gave; she ha d just finished a garden series. It was fantastic.
Anyway, great to see you at Wolfskill. I had a great day, my first “solo” radio sag — I might be ready to do more of those and leave Numenius at Net Control.
