Holly! BravO🌹👍🏼😍 yes I would love to see more of the magic painted edges!! 💖✨💫
literally bought beetle boy as soon as I watched this! I'm now on the watch for books with awesome edge design!
+Francesca Read Fantastic! Please let me know if you find anything interesting!
I remember my children's Bible when I was growing up, it had animals painted on the side like that. I hadn't thought about that in years! What a precious memory. Thank you.
+Tamara Woods (PenPaperPad) You're welcome. That sounds beautiful!
So inspiring Holly, books are so multifaceted and rewarding. Great job. Thank you!
+Sproink Pixi Thanks xxx
I really liked the mushrooms on the foot edge of the Alice in Wonderland book. Thanks for sharing :-)
I love that you used so many of the Barnes & Noble books I designed and art directed! Great Video!
Thanks, Jo! They're such beautiful designs :)
This is so cool - and your mushroom painting came out beautifully!
+BookishPrincess Thanks!
when are you gonna do a DiY painted book edge tutorial (by any chance)?
It's something I'd love to do, but unfortunately it requires quite a lot of resources that I don't have at the moment. There are a few videos on TH-cam about it if you search for 'painted fore-edges'.
This was supercool and so interesting!!
+Britta Böhler Thank you x
As always you have produced a fantastic informative video. I love learning about publishing and book design from you, I hope there will be more to come.
+SwirlyGirlyReads Thanks x Glad you enjoyed it :)
I love it when you make these videos! I only have one book, "The Golem" which I bought second-hand, that has the edges painted in black, just like its cover, and I love the effect. I had never seen paintings on the edges like the ones you show though, those are fantastic! And that mushroom draw came out beautiful!!
+Marta Sanders Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it!
How interesting, and that mushroom painting turned out so well!
+HeartVivian Thanks :)
I really like your book design videos, it is interesting and the books are very pleasing to the eye. I hope you'll make more videos like this :)
+mypeacefulrevolution Thanks! I plan to x
I know this is an older vid but I just had to watch and comment because it was so adorable. Thanks for sharing! I loved those mushrooms and they would look lovely on a great Alice edition!
Thank you! I love getting feedback on all videos :)
Oh, Beetle Boy, I think I have just fallen in love! :D
+Lila Wood Isn't it snazzy!? :D
What a fun and interesting video! :) love the picture ones
+Allyson Tuggle Thanks :)
how cool. I like the colored edges, always a good reason to pick up a book. I have quite a few with black pages and I think a yellow or bright orange one. And wicked I think is green. Sorry can't check, not near my books.
+1book1review That's okay :) Wicked would look really cool with green edges!
Aw, what a great idea and your drawings are so cool! My new german edition of Harry Potter paperbacks have a spell written on the fore - edges, which appears when you bend it a bit. I think it was the first time I noticed something other than gilt edges.
+Silke Maria That's so cool! I'd love to see that :D
this is so gorgeous!
+Julia Degregorio Thanks Julia x
That top edge is called the ‘head”
This was such an interesting video and what you created came out really well! :)
+Nita Gautam Thanks!
I could only access one of the videos. Is this the curse of watching old videos
I recently read "Inkling" by Kenneth Oppel. It's a funny, smart book about an inkblot that gains sentience and independent movement. Along the fore edge of the book is a ragged black stripe formed by inkblots positioned on the verso pages of the book. Is there a technical term for such a stripe and, if so, what is it?
That was a very interesting video! Thank you
+Sarah Yazeid You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
i really like the idea and your drawing gorgeous :)
+ABRAR ALMADI Thanks! :)
aw what a lovely video!
+Izzi Bizzi Thanks
Awesome video! Love your series.=)
I really like painted edges. But publishers in my area do it badly (pages are like glued together and in many cases a bit of paint goes into text zone. Which is ..not cool) . That's why I prefer foreign presses.
Fore-edges fascinate me!!! I'm looking forward for more!=)
+Anna Shuk (ChicagoJFox) Thanks :) Another thing that I like about this technique is that you can tell when you're the first person to open a book because the pages are slightly stuck together. Perhaps not to the same extent as you're saying, but it gives me a little thrill! It's the little things :)
Library at the Edge of the World oh..so maybe it's done better than I thought. I love to feel this little cracking sound too.=)
You forgot to mention that top edge only foiling was also commonly done. This made dusting the the books easier.
+mentatphilosopher That's not something that I came across in my research, but I guess it makes sense. Thanks!
