I don't think I ever posted about this here...

One of my recent #bookbinding project this (otherwise very non-bookbind-y) #Binderary was this little album for my #TabletopWargaming paper minis.

Individual pages are heavier sheets of paper, folded and glued to make large pockets (for unit cards and such) to which were then glued smaller pieces of paper, to a side, to make the pockets for the minis.

Two pages were then combined into folios with strips of glued bookcloth. Two of those "made folios" were then sewed on a zig-zag folded strip of bookcloth, endpapers attached to the outer edges of the zig-zag and the whole thing glued into a hardcover case with a soft, rounded bookcloth spine.

(The idea of this very improvised construction is to have a flexible spine/back that can shift and flex to accommodate the added thickness of multiple sheets of cardboard as minis get added, while still closing to protect the inside.)

So far, I'm very happy with it. Even with only two folios it can hold enough minis for 2-5 warbands complete with their stats! With another folio or two it would hold some fold-flat paper terrain too. For a non-prototype version I'd make the pockets smaller/shallower and maybe switch the material for something thinner. (Maybe parchment paper?)
