1. Paperback Writer Said,

   Would it disturb you too much to tell you that I cut up some National Geographic maps to help myself learn how to coptic bind books? I’m still getting the hang of it, but I liked how the end result turned out.

2. kahunna Said,

   Nooooooo! Actually, as long as it wasn’t more than 40-50 years old, cutting up a National Geographic would be just as detrimental as cutting up a newspaper from the same time. In 1958, NatGeo was pumping out 2 million copies a month and the numbers kept climbing every year. Now, over 9 million are sold on stands in over 30 countries and 50 million subscribers find the yellow-bordered mag in their mailbox every month.

   If you decided to test your book-binding skills on a map of Massachusetts from the first issue in October, 1888, then yes, I would be very disturbed.

   You going to post your newly-founded bookbinding skillz on flickr?

3. paperback writer Said,

   The maps were from 20 years ago. I don’t think I could bring myself to cut up a map that was 40 – 50 years old! I think I have to dig up my parents National Geographic Issues. They are probably gathering dust in the basement.

   I’m working on showing off my book binding skills via flickr.
