'Nobi' by Shōhei Ōoka is a tale of humanity, WWII and occasional cannibalism. This copy is a Finnish translation which I bound in black goatskin and ink & acrylic dyed paper. The paper reveals a faint gold and iridescent shimmer to it when looked from different angles. www.veterok.net veterokforbooks.tumblr.com

Finished binding for the Scripta Manent V , organised by The Estonian Association of Designer Bookbinders. The set book was called Nimed, sõnad, nõiamärgid - a collection of radical young Estonian poetry. And yes, the English title of the book reads like that. www.veterok.net veterokforbooks.tumblr.com

A variation of the Bradel binding, or "large binding" as some might say, with black goatskin back and boards covered with waste paper. The waste paper had most of the dye stains already on it, I only elaborated on them a bit with ink, acrylics and coloured pencil. I also decided against a gilt title and simply wrote the title on the front cover. All edges dyed black with ink. www.veterok.net veterokforbooks.tumblr.com

For some reason I felt the need to incorporate black cotton ties in the design, so I have laced them across the back and through the boards. They can be tied together but don't really serve any important function. www.veterok.net veterokforbooks.tumblr.com

I originally wanted so bad to gild the title on the back of the book, but hit a brick wall because of the lack of tools and the type, and in the end decided against it.

for the Scripta Manent binding. I liked all of the colours I initially modeled for it so I ended up using all of them instead of just one or two; This colourway then began to resemble a pale Estonian flag, very convenient for my design as the set book for the show is about young Estonian poetry.

As all good binders know, roughly a week before the mailing deadline is the best time to start working on a set book.
