The past couple of meetings a few of us have been experimenting with the seemingly infinite variations that a concertina spine and stitched pamphlets allow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Concertina

All the variations we worked on had this starting constraint – a sheet of paper folded in half and then in half again to give 4 equal sections. The centre sections are then folded to form the concertina spine leaving the outer two sections to become endpapers or covers. ( Here are then are the first set of variations : length, height, orientation, number of spine folds, paper weight, inner colour, outer colour, pattern finish…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Concertina

Next to form pamphlets to attach to the spine. \u00a0( The next set of variations. Width of pages: to the valley fold, the mountain, wider, narrower. Height : taller, shorter, same height as spine. Pamphlets: single sheet, multiple page folios, more than one per fold; adjacent, stacked, staggered. Not to mention paper choice!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Concertina

The next constraint was to stitch the pamphlets to the spine. ( But what stitch and type of thread to use? 3 hole, 5 hole, 3 hole and over the top and bottom, saddle stitch, chain, string of pearls, double pamphlet, kettle, Coptic, link… Linen, cotton, string, ribbon, embroidery… Add some padding stubs?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Concertina
https:\/\/plotcraft.wixsite.com\/plotcraft<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And finally, what cover? ( Use the outer folds as a cover or endpapers? Hard cover, \u00a0soft cover, wrap? Spine or no spine? Board, cloth, leather? Patterned or plain? Ties, band, another type of closure? Does it need a box or other enclosure?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough choices to form thousands of variations, and that’s without even considering the content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
