Thank you for sharing. Great photos.

Thank you for the work.

I love the design of the cover. The paper seems to be a nice upgrade from the Munken pure.

The binding and marbled cover are fantastic. Looks like gold streaks similar to what Lyra's Alchemist has which are hard to capture on photos but are even more stunning in person. I do notice the issue with streaks along the center fold of the illustrations which is unfortunate. Was it avoidable with different paper stock?

>5 A.Godhelm: I have a copy of Books Illustrated War Horse which has fold-out illustrations and there are no real streaks to be seen; only the faintest hint of white in a couple of places but that's all.

>5 A.Godhelm: Yeah, those streaks are an eye sore. Never seen them that bad on a new book.
