Anthropogenic Crisis No. 134834 (Melting City) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – This last weekend we were in Boulder Colorado for a family wedding and I was just one of the many guests who brought cameras to document this wonderful event.

For the artist book I now envision (book pre-visualization!), I want to bind it with a very simple, but elegant pamphlet stitch. Assembled and bound it should look like what I posted in my last article. And there are a numerous ways to complete a pamphlet stitch and a relatively simple production fixture, called a...
