The book for Friday has six signatures of one folded sheet each; they are sewn and then glued (well, taped) into the single, folded, woven cover. The pages and the cover all made of the same lightweight card stock, but the cover ends up being a double thickness - so it's more "cover-y."
Much as I believe in simple materials, and try to resist buying every new thing that comes along, I do appreciate double-stick tape! To have glued this with a liquid glue would have been begging for wrinkles and warping, not to mention that the book would still be sitting under a stack of books drying - and very likely gluing itself shut. Yay, dry adhesive!
