General Notes
-
All covers are watercolor paper, 100% cotton rag, acid-free.
Most are Arches papers, a few are other brands.
Coptic book "boards" are 300# papers. The folded others are 140#.
-
Painted decoration on covers is
watercolor/watermedia, watercolor/watermedia and ink,
or acrylic.
-
Mosaic/collage bits are watercolor paper with watercolor, watermedia,
and/or ink decoration, except as noted.
-
Most internal pages are 100% rag, acid-free bond papers (mostly #32),
ivory or white, folded and torn, except as noted.
The brightly colored pages of books are acid-free Canson Mi Teintes
pastel papers, folded and torn, except as noted.
Note: The brightly colored pages of many of the 2007 books
were mostly "neon" bond papers, which were neither
acid-free nor PH-neutral; but none of those books
is still available.
-
The thread used in stitching is 3-ply linen, #18 or #12, waxed.
Hemp #20 was used for a few books.
-
Most book dimensions are 4.25" x 5.5" x 0.5"D.
Another group is somewhat larger at 6.5"H x 4.75" to 5" W x 0.5"D.
Scattered exceptions are noted.
-
Any "NA" or
"SOLD" books
are not available.
Some of the "NA"
books may only be temporarily unavailable or
available from a vendor, which I started indicating after a while:
- Books are signed:
-
Beginning in late February 2008,
books are, for the most part,
signed/initialled and dated
in ink on the outside back cover.
-
Earlier 2008 books are, for the most part,
signed/initialled and dated
in ink on the inside back cover.
-
The 2007 books were, for the most part,
signed/initialled and dated
in pencil on the inside back cover.
