This charming handbound book uses a Pipe Organ binding, where the stitching wraps neatly over cords along the spine—creating that lovely “row of pipes” look. It may appear
intricate at first glance, but it’s surprisingly simple and very satisfying to put assemble. One of the best parts? No fiddly hinge gaps to worry about! You can play with different thread colours for the “pipes,” making each book feel completely unique and full of personality.
All basic book items are included in your kit.
