My Little Open Book Cover; by BB

Hi to everyone,there will be a few updates on this topic file so please visit again.
Happy Times being the 1st Update was on 26/9/2022

Well over a year now i have been trawling the internet for old classic open book covers,but after a while i realised the limitations in my finding the ones that i wanted in my photo printing book plate collection.
So i began an endeaver to create my own flow of open book covers ,by finding real cool pictures of classic old ones. From first finding just one picture,and highlighting the colour that it once had. Then after sweeping over it certain actions of heart to make my copies, i would in turn of excitement print them all out.  So the three step process is set out below in order to show the way.                                              

    Like finding treasure, i noticed the famous celebrated Author above so i knew the style of writing would be very old indeed
            From the year of the great bird flue pandemic of 1920, this charming picture came my way.                      

                                                                         

      ... i then coppied  the above book spine from                                  the picture.

i then made another sweep of the complete picture.

 

Then i pushed all three pictures together to form my version of this over 100 yearold book.  Sure it took time out of my usual busy day,but felt it well worth it.  All i have to do now is print out my reduced in size covers in order to shuffled them into pride of place  upon one of my own scratch built Book Cases that will stand surrounded in deep dark but interesting book style mystery in the highly methodic changing  LIBRARY

STEPS

ONE

                                                                                                                        TWO     

THREE       

The finised picture plate above is ready for printing out. Three stacks of 45! Yes i like small!
Why so many? A good question! i might mix other plates on one page,if and when i find them. 
All in all there are estimated to be over 12,000 little book blanks already made. i finish one job lot only to find other front pictures i must just include like those three below. 

                 Do you see what i mean?
