Piano hinge binding was our challenge for October. Anne found the instructions on this lovely blog http://bumblingacrossletterboxes.blogspot.co.nz/2012/08/how-to-make-piano-hinge-book.html practiced a few samples in advance, and undertook to guide us through the day. Precise measuring and cutting were required in order to produce even hinges and a book which opens easily. This style of binding results in a journal which would lend itself to holding photos or other such ephemera, such as small sketches or paintings.
