I'm on my last step, gluing the book block into the case. Very nervous. I'm looking for tips on the best way.
It was a perfectbound softcover, which I'm converting into hardcover. Squareback, with board in the spine.
Do I glue the spine first so I know it's centered, then the hinges, then the covers? Or a different order?
Any tips are appreciated!
The attention to detail is amaze! Just before he tells Grace that the scientists are ready to prep the Hail Mary to return to Earth, he scoops up/scuffs the sand. It reminds me of how we physically fiddle with something before saying something difficult. He doesn't want him to go.
Then he turns so it appears he's "looking" off into the distance and seems to droop a bit. When Grace asks if he can think about it, he quickly turns back and lifts his posture, happy that he might not leave. His encouragement to think about it long time was accompanied by a tiny but enthusiastic nodding.
Then he can relax and sit. So well done!
I imagine the conversation could be quite funny. The reverse equivalent could be Rocky naming Grace the Eridian word for "fleshy" or "leaky."
