Rubow Binding

I really like making books using the Rubow binding technique, which is one of the various types of millimeter binding that came out of Denmark in the mid-20th century. They were traditionally made with paste papers on the cover. I intended to use paste paper on this book, but as sometimes happens, when I first made the cover for this book the size wasn't quite right. So, I had to start over and make a new cover and didn't have any more paste paper that worked well with the purple leather and the purple edge painting that I did on the head and tail. So I used some of my marbled paper instead and it turned out quite nice anyway!
