I was at the dollar store and I couldn’t resist.

A Little Golden Book!

The binding method is really basic and much easier than how I usually do book binding so I’m definitely going to give it a try.

Needless to say, I have some 22pt chip board on order. Hehe!

Its a book by Pedro Perez called “Trizia”. He is one of my favorite artists!

Fun! 'n Such a suggestive book title to work with . . . "The Perfect Cream Pie!" perhaps! or "How to 'whip' up a perfect cream pie!"

I'm old enough to remember that Little Golden Books got that name because the spine was gilded. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/52/22/2c/52222c6595fd6a5ff63e450967cf7c2f.jpg The binding style of yours is called "Perfect Binding" pretty much the only way paperbacks are bound. The glues are much better now. Old ones would have the glue get powdery and the pages began falling out. The old LGBs were signature stitched. The pages gathered, folded and sewn along the fold. The first and last pages are glued onto end papers that are glued to the cover to hold everything together.

This one is stapled but after disassembling it is quite brilliant. Its cheap and easy to manufacture but durable. The gold spine elevates its look while reinforcing it and covering the messy bits.

Oh, also lies flat for tiny hands (or one handed reading).

My grandfather taught me to read with them.
