update.. bookmaking... etc...























well... things are starting to feel more concrete. i am very soon, as in today soon going to make a more concrete budget for my phase 1 of bookmaking/ researching... i booked a flight to calgary where i will begin the research by hanging with my pa... i am hoping he will take me out to some of the places he worked.. not sure how i want to approach my time with him but i am excited.

I am also beginning to consider book making techniques and wowzas it is a huuuuge world! i have two books right now that I am working with.

1. The Structure of the Visual Book by Keith Smith and
2. Cover to Cover by Shereen La Plantz

the second one is more colorful and has more step by step instructions. both touch on the expansiveness of the conecpt book and show many unconventional as well as conventional formats for book binding.

It is very very cool to think about books like this. I am noticing that I feel like I am going to have to be careful to make sure I pace myself - not to get caught up in the format and forget about the content!
will keep updating with the process as it unfolds!
and thanks to JP KING for his help!
