How did you get the papers to line up so right? I can't seem to get it right!

You have to pack the signatures together really tight and hard, then use an X-acto knife and ruler to trim the edges.

oh wow! that is wonderful!! so professional! i love the straps to keep it closed. how did you do the binding? did you do it with string?

I did a traditional binding with 4-page signatures. Each signature is bound with white string, with each connecting to the next, taped and glued.

He loves it, but we'll see if he actually uses it lol
I also gave him a print of a monogram I made of his initials from my Calligraphy class. He went and got it framed yesterday, so when I get some good lighting, I'll take a picture.

I took a look at what Best Buy had and was eying a 55-200mm for $200. I'm gonna have to wait on lenses though.

You'll have a lot of fun with a 55-200. Here's a tip for your 18-55 though
