In 2022 I began doing bookbinding. I'd made a couple books in the late '90s and always wanted to do more, but I didn't want to make blank books. No, if I was going to make books, I wanted them to be actual books, meaning books one can read. I began writing in 2016, and a few years later I realized it might be time to start learning to make books. One of the reasons I'd waited so long was because I didn't have a text to work with (I've since realized I can use texts from Project Gutenberg,) but now I realized I had a couple of my own, so I began.
I have made multiple copies of three different texts of my own, mostly different bindings, because it's mostly about the physical object. But I eventually came up with a design that I could use for multiple copies of one small book. It is a set of three stories that together make a unit which I consider to be a triptych. Altogether it totals a little over 10,000 words. Of my completed texts, it's probably the only one that could be of interest to you all on this site.
OFFER: I am offering a copy to anyone who wants one, shipping paid by me, though I only have EIGHT copies. If more than that want one, I'll try to make more. I guess I'm not expecting it to be too many of you, but if so, we'll have to see. If you want one, you can send me an address to mail it to. It's just a small book.
CAVEAT: I am not necessarily asking for feedback, though all comments are welcome. But I am asking that you please read it. And fact is, I'd never know if you didn't, so that is between you and your conscience.
ETA: The title of this little book is Eaten By Birds
