The mull has been attached! The mull is a piece of book cloth, three inches wider than the spine of the book, and slightly shorter than the height of the book, which is glued to the spine to strengthen the bond between the signatures. Now that my tapes and mull are in place, I can begin making the covers and hard spine. By then end of my ministrations tonight, the book should look like a book. After attaching the front and back covers to the mull, I just need to cover the boards, and, voila!, a hand-bound book.
Reading Joan Murray, thinking about doing an "out loud" test on some of the line breaks and phrasing in the Spectacle of Meat. Still enamored of glue.
