Measuring 4” x 6.5”, this book has 176 pages. The text is printed on #70 matte-coated paper (acid free). The book’s pages are gathered into signatures then sewn together – a step few publishers bother with today. The book block is then glued and reinforced with fiber tape and covered with heavy cloth-covered boards, plus colorful headbands. This is a permanent library-grade book – designed to last a couple centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lost Art Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardback book","offer_id":43462408634431,"sku":"BK-SMALLS","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback book + pdf","offer_id":43462408667199,"sku":"BK-SMALLS","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"pdf only","offer_id":43462408699967,"sku":"BK-SMALLS-PDF","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/3197\/files\/IMG_3264.jpg?v=1782759915","url":"https:\/\/lostartpress.com\/products\/smalls-18-well-designed-easy-projects-for-an-afternoon-in-the-workshop","provider":"Lost Art Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
