Anniversary book

The ‘Inktvissers’ pull anniversary books from under the dust

The ‘Inktvissers’: Kristin Wuyts and Marie Verdurmen pull fun quotes and juicy anecdotes from the past from under the dust. The stories underlie and form the common thread in the creation of a new anniversary book. “We interviewed dozens of people. That’s how you find out things” Kristin says.

Kristin: “They are micro-stories: sometimes funny, sometimes endearing and moving. They give the reader a picture of the past and the culture, without necessarily giving everything away.”

Binding method: Swiss binding

For this binding we started from a yarn-sewn book block. The cover was sheathed in red linen and then glued (only) to the third page of the cover. This ensures that when you open the book, you can see the sewn spine. The red thread used to sew the quires together also forms a graphic element in the interior. This creates a nice interaction between the design of the book itself and the design on the pages. Strong thinking from the Ink Fishermen!
