Seems you're more right than me. The binding is cord and does go over the outside ends. [ATTACH] But now the question is: what pattern will give...
It looks good on both sides. A bit of concern about looping over the outside end of the book: if those loops slip off, the whole structure will...
Might have to do with pixel density? The default on my devices is 72DPI, but if someone else is at 300DPI? If I've done this right, here's a...
It's very clever.
Ribbon might be preferable because it can scrunch down to go through the holes but be spread to look more substantial on the surface.
I found this online (but they don't show the actual spine): [ATTACH]
You can avoid the cross spine thing by taking the cord one hole past the middle on the return to put both ends of the cord on the same side to tie...
I'm sitting here, tracing it through with my finger, and it looks like the center knot will tie across the "spine", but that will be the only spot...

Signed top and bottom?
I don't have the information, but I think an important factor on this will be the color palette. When did the various colors come into use?
I don't see those heads as being very snake-like.
I'm not seeing Medusa. Those look like Geese at her head. Maybe Nemesis?
It occurs regularly: "Though" becomes "dho", "the" becomes "dhe", "then" becomes "dhen". Lower case "s" is frequently replaced with "z", "of"...
So maybe the spelling here is his own idiosyncratic approach, I would guess trying a more phonetic style. Noah Webster tried to rationalize...
I have a book by Nathaniel Dearborn who was an engraver, on Washington St., in Boston, at that time, but I can't see Dearborn there. Looks like...
Separate names with a comma.
