I've become a bit obsessed with my final project, you see.

I lay awake at night and ponder the best materials to cover the book.

I ponder whether or not I should pad up the book, or just leave it at a normal paper thickness.

Should I paginate and reprint the pages?

Do I need a title page?

I spent a fruitless hour and a half wandering from store to store looking for the right emblem to embellish the front of the book's cover.

I groped and felt up various papers, mentally gauging fold strength and glue saturation possibilities.

I bought a bundle of 500 sheets in order to have 20 pages of the proper size and weight.

I calculated and recalculated angles and vectors to achieve the appropriate size to thickness ratio of my template.

I dream about the viability of leather as a binding medium.

I think I need to just make the damn thing and be done with it.

Yesterday & Tomorrow.
