How To Make A Mini Comic

This is a guide on how to put together a minicomic that I last updated in near 2004 (and it shows: a lot of the photocopying, collating, prep stages are at present best done on a reckoner). Information technology's all still totally valid, and as well a similar, but much more comprehensive guide tin also exist found in Appendix E of Drawing Words & Writing Pictures, as well as in the terminal 4 chapters of Mastering Comics (an even better version with book binding ideas).

Introduction

What is a minicomic?

The give-and-take "minicomic" does not mean "small comic". The "mini" in minicomics is a reference to a relatively small-scale print run, and also how much personal labor on the part of the artist and friends is involved. A professionally-printed comic with a print-run of 3000 that is 4" X five" is non a minicomic. A photocopied comic with a manus-printed embrace that'due south been folded and stapled by the artist his or herself and that is 8.5" 10 eleven" is a minicomic.

Why make minicomics?

The first and most important reason to brand minicomics is that comics are essentially a class of printed multiple. That means, the comic is the printed thing of which in that location are many, Non the original fatigued page. A comic, in some ways, is non a comic until it is printed. Everything yous exercise on your original art needs to be done with the printed concluding comic in listen. In this way, comics are similar to etchings or silkscreens. The original is the print, not the plate or screen y'all impress it from. With that in mind, in order to start to sympathise how your comics look and read to an outside reader, y'all must get distance on the piece of work, and y'all must see information technology in its intended course, and that means you lot have to impress information technology. And, you need to print it in book form so you can see how the pages look juxtaposed to each other, and feel what information technology's like to turn your pages. Plus which, the showtime fourth dimension you see your comics in a volume form, you'll exist shocked, and amazed, and proud. Information technology's a groovy thing to do.

Secondly, with a minicomic, y'all take your work in a swell package that yous tin give to editors as a portfolio (they will ever want to see your work in mutiple-page sections, non only pinups in your sketchbook), to artists y'all admire for possible feedback (sometimes they'll write you back) or simply to permit them know you like their work, and to friends, family unit, and beau cartoonists. You tin can besides sell them to people you know or, sometimes, through your local comics or tape store. Ask if they'll do consignment. It's essential, equally a cartoonist, to get people to be enlightened of you lot and your work. That'due south how you eventually get published by someone other than yourself.

What should you put into your minicomics?

That part is very much upward to you. You can put a brusque story or several in there, drawings and pin-ups, or a serialized part of a longer story. Y'all tin even put prose stories, essays, or pictures of yourself in there. Whatsoever. However, information technology bears remembering that most people who become your comic may simply e'er get 1 issue. That'south merely how it ofttimes works out. If you put a serialized function of your magnum opus in there, your readers may have no idea what's going on, and thus not be interested in information technology. Just keep that in listen. Too, album editors who see a short story they similar in the mini y'all requite them might simply offer to reprint it in their book. You never know, information technology could happen!

Bones formats

Minicomics can be whatever size, shape, number of pages, and format yous desire, limited by a few factors: Money, paper size, time, newspaper shape, and coin.

Let's become to nuts first: whatever piece of paper, any size and shape, obviously, has ii sides. Grab a sheet of scrap newspaper and effort this: if you lot fold it in half, it will have…let's say it all together…
Iv sides. And if we fold it a 2nd fourth dimension? Count them if demand be.

8 sides. Y'all can even fold it a 3rd time, though this is pretty much the limit. Three folds will create…

Sixteen sides. You can see already how the folded newspaper looks something like a booklet. You can besides run across how the size of the paper y'all originally folded will exist reflected in the final shape and size of your booklet-to-be.

If you fold standard photocopy paper (in the USA, we're talking eight.5" X eleven") in half the long manner, you get a booklet of…

5.5" x 8.v". This is the virtually common and cheapest format for a minicomic, and information technology's chosen "DIGEST SIZE" (Cheapest considering the newspaper is inexpensive and photocopies on it are usually the cheapest available at any copy place). If yous fold it once more the long style, you go a booklet that's…

5.5" 10 4.25". This is possibly the 2nd almost mutual size, and it'southward called "MINICOMIC SIZE" Have annotation that for this volume to open up and read, you lot will accept to trim one edge after you staple information technology. And the final fold, the long way, will create a tiny book that's

2.25" Ten 4.v". This is chosen "MICRO SIZE". In this format, you take to cutting 2 edges off later on it's stapled.

Remember…

Without getting too monotonous about it, keep in listen that beginning with a different size canvass of paper will create different size minicomics. If your original newspaper size was "legal size" (which is 8.v″ x fourteen″), the folded-once-the-long-way version would be 8.five″ x 7″, and the folded-once-the-long-way version of "tabloid size" paper, which is 11″ 10 17″ would be viii.5″ X 11″. And and so on.

Another consideration:

All that'due south well and good, but what if you take your standard office-size photocopy newspaper (viii.v″ X 11″), and fold information technology the Brusk manner outset? Here's what you become:

 It'southward 4.25″ X 11″. It could be great for a comic about tall buildings, or one bound calendar-manner of daily comic strips. So what if you fold it again, this fourth dimension the long way?

You lot get a book that'southward the exact aforementioned size equally "minicomic size" (in a higher place). but ITS "SPINE" IS ON THE Brusk SIDE, which makes it a horizontal book.

Other Formats

Format doesn't stop in that location. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Your minicomic can be folded up like an accordian or a roadmap and it'southward all the same a minicomic.

At present let's showtime talking about YOUR minicomic, instead of in generalities.

Pace 1: Decide on a format

Keeping in heed the possibilities discussed above, the first affair y'all have to practise when y'all are considering making a minicomic is decide what size and shape it will exist. You can do this 1 of 2 means:

Selection 1:

Expect at the work you want to impress, and decide what size and shape of book will fit it best.
To do this, you should measure out the pages you desire to publish, and effigy out what shape and size page would fit it best. Are your pages close to a 2 x 3 proportion, like traditional American comics pages? So you may want to stick with the standard "digest size" mini. It's a chip tall and skinny, similar your art. Are your pages more squarish, similar European comics pages? In that instance, a legal-size folded in half or perchance a "minicomics size" book would fit amend, since they are more square-shaped. Once you know your ideal mini format, utilise your proportion cycle to effigy out how much to reduce your pages and go on from in that location (come across below, footstep 2 for more on that).

Pick 2:

Determine on a shape and size for your mini and draw new work to fit.
This is the best option if yous want to do a mini in an unusual format, or a really small ane, or something. Your pages that you draw at 10" x 15" won't look good reprinted in a "micro size" mini.
To do this, figure out the page size of your mini by making a mock-up blank book to figure out the format, then measure the pages to see what your concluding size should be. and then use your proportion wheel to size those measurements up 125% – 200% (meet stride ii), and draw the comics at that size.

Step 2: Utilise the proportion bike

The proportion wheel is a tool used to figure out how much bigger yous need to draw art, or how much smaller you have to make art to impress information technology. It has three main parts.

You can set a proportion wheel in one of 2 ways.

i) You know the final print size, but not the original size.

Let'south apply a impress size of iv″ x 5″ equally an example.
Find one of the last dimensions on the inner ring. Say 5″. Set the number in the window to the proportion you desire to use (in the picture, it's prepare to 150—that's 150%)
Match upwardly the number on the inner ring with the number on the outer band to notice 5" at 150%. It'due south 7.five″.

And then that's 1 of the dimensions. Now, without moving the rings (because both dimensions are being sized upward 150%), find the other dimension on the inner ring (4″) and so match it up with the outer band. It matches upwardly to half-dozen″. so you need to draw your original at 6″ x 7.5″. If yous're metric, the same principle holds, of course.

ii) You know what size your fine art is, and what size the final print size is, but you don't know the reduction.

For case, let's say the original art is 10″ x xv″ (a standard size to draw comics originals) and the final impress size is to exist iv.75″ ten seven.75″ (which is the size of the impress area in a assimilate-size minicomic).

In this method, you line up the length of the original art (on the outer band) with the length of the print size (on the inner wheel) and await in the window to see what number is at the pointer.

So, you practice the aforementioned again, but with the width of the original, and the width of the print size.

Why do you do this twice? Well, You saw that you came upwards with two dissimilar numbers. If the art and the printed page are not exactly the aforementioned proportion (and they rarely are) you will get unlike numbers for the length and the width proportion. You lot accept to cull the smaller of the two.

Why is that? If you use the bigger proportion, so your art turns out bigger, it will run off the edges of the page when printed. Try information technology, you'll see. Then that means that for this exercise, y'all should reduce your art at 47%.

A few other considerations:

Remember that photocopiers tin't copy all the fashion to the border of a page. They always leave some white space. The "print size" of a standard digest size mini, therefore, is not the full size of the booklet (8.v: x v.5″), merely is at least 3/eight of an inch smaller on all sides. In other words, your print size for a digest mini would exist, at the maximum, seven.75″ x iv.75″ You tin get smaller, but you can't go bigger, because your art won't fit on the folio.

If you want to employ a "bleed", i.east., images that run off the border of the folio, you lot will have to hand-trim your mini after you've bound information technology, which is a lot of work.

Pace 3: Brand a list

OK, so now y'all know what shape your mini will be, and what will get in information technology, either a collection of finished work or all new piece of work. Now you need to make up one's mind HOW MUCH work y'all'll put in there.

Remember:

If you are using the Digest format, meaning newspaper folded one time, no matter what size information technology is, you will have to fill pages in multiples of 4, since each sheet of paper folded in one-half has four pages.

If you lot are using the MINICOMIC format, you volition have pages in multiples of eight.

If you are using the MICRO format, you will take pages in multiples of 16.

Make a listing of what you want to put in your comic, and count them to make sure you take the right number. Add and subtract pages until it comes out correct. Make sure you are adding a front cover (FC), back embrace (BC), within front embrace (IFC), and within back cover (IBC) into your folio count.

Make certain you are planning to print an indicia of some kind. An indicia is the bones legal and personal data you lot desire to have in your volume. At the minimum, you want your e-mail accost and a copyright notice of some kind. You lot might also have your street address, information most your stories, thank you lot, whatever. This information is commonly found on the IFC or BC.

Keep in mind contents pages, empty pages, title pages, ads, or anything else you might want to add.

Now look at your list and think about gild. Retrieve some basics virtually the reading feel: in the Western tradition, people expect to starting time new stories on a correct-manus page (besides known as "recto"), which are always odd-numbered, and terminate them on a left hand page (AKA "verso"), which are always fifty-fifty-numbered. If you can respect that tradition, your readers will thank you. (Obviously, that expectation is reversed in Asian tradition, and in any culture where books are read by opening the left edge of the book.)

Work out the final gild of stories (it will probably take a few tries of re-ordering them), and you're fix to go.

Pace 4: Cover design

Now that you've fabricated the big decisions almost shape, size, and content, it's time to think almost presentation. It goes without saying (but information technology'south non a bad idea to say information technology anyway) that the cover is the part of your book people will see kickoff. If your cover does not concenter their attention, your art on the inside will not take a chance to do so…your potential reader will exist long gone.

At that place are an incredible number of options available to you lot to make your mini stand out from the crowd. They are limited simply past your imagination, budget, and the time bachelor. But these are not idle concerns. If you blueprint a comprehend that takes you 20 minutes to prepare, you are going to become very tired of putting your books together, very fast. As a outcome, you may end upwards making only a few copies of your mini, when you might have intended to make a huge pile. Similarly, if you design a cover that involves expensive materials, you may non exist able to afford to make many of them, or you lot may demand to charge then much money for them that they're hard to sell, or yous may find it difficult to make yourself give them abroad. You have to strike a balance between these factors.

Above are some examples of creative minicomics pattern.

In his 24-hour comic, "Puppy", Jensen used ii unproblematic ways to decorate the cover for Puppy. First, he photocopied a cartoon of a puppy onto a different newspaper stock, and glued information technology on his comprehend, then he used a kind of Asian semi-transparent rice paper as an over-encompass. Bishakh Som likewise used an overlay to jazz up his encompass for his mini comic "Affections". He photocopied the swooping affections in the epitome onto colored vellum (tracing paper), and the rest of the image onto plain white newspaper. When you lift the outer, orange cover, the angel disappears, implying that it exists in some other level of reality.

In "Dumb Cluck" by John Kerschbaum, the embrace is very uncomplicated. It'due south bare except for a round hole punched out so that the petty illustration underneath tin can peek out. The back encompass was given the aforementioned treatment for residual. Hole punchers like the i Kerschbaum used come up in different sizes and shapes and can be found in arts and crafts stores.

The Tompkinses created their cover for "And I Saw Edgar Allen Poe" by airbrushing or spray-painting a stencil of a raven over the embrace, which is a sail of opaque fancy newspaper.
In "The Origami Pet" by Dan Moynihan The words of the title were starting time hand drawn and colored. Afterwards Moynihan scanned that art and inkjet-printed it on colored carte stock. Later on binding the minicomic together, to add onto the origami theme, a strip of Japanese origami newspaper was glued onto the volume's spine which also conceals the staples, giving the book a more professional person look.

Stride v: Photocopying piece of work to final size

Photocopying is an art, non a science. However, there are a few unyielding truths about it. First of all, the cheapest copies are black and white. They telephone call it that, "black and white" for a reason, and that reason is that in that location is no greyness. There are black plastic bits melted onto white paper, and that'southward it. If you try to copy lovely subtle washes, they volition get blotchy and done out, or overly dark, because the auto is struggling to decide whether a given surface area is closer to black or white.

Which is the 2d hard truth about photocopying. Because of that need to decide whether an area is black or white, copies always go lighter in the light areas and darker in the night areas. In other words, stay away from tone: washes, pencil, even screen tones (zipatone) can get muddy and messed upwards, especially equally you re-create your copies and get several generations from your original. The blotchy exaggerations that still look OK in the get-go generation will go exaggerated once again in the 2nd generation, and even more than so in the tertiary.

Train yourself to recall and DRAW FOR REPRODUCTION. Comics are non the drawings you make in your sketchbook or even the original pages you lot slave over. They are the reproductions you distribute for people to read. That'due south what you're working for, so go along information technology in mind.

Also call back that all photocopiers are non created equal, and, fifty-fifty if they were, they're sure not equal once a agglomeration of idiots in a copy store go a concur of them. Move Effectually the copy store, effort the unlike machines, and use the all-time 1, even if y'all take to expect for it.

Self-serve machines are the cheapest, simply they are too the virtually messed up, then y'all're sure to find some actually bad ones. If you need aid, Ask i of the nice workers to teach yous how to make double sided copies . Ask them to demonstrate if you are all the same confused. Bring more than coin than you demand considering you will screw upwards somehow.

You can pay the people backside the counter to practise your copies for y'all, but call back that you're paying a surcharge for that, and that they may not understand what yous want them to do, or they may just be dumb, and so you may have to fight with them about it if they screw up the task (happens more than than yous'd recall). Mostly, at this stage you volition want to brand the copes yourself, so you lot have command over how the masters come out. But when information technology comes to reproducing the whole book (step 8 below), if yous tin can beget it, it'southward the easiest and nigh relaxing manner to make comics.

And on that annotation, if you accept admission to a public photocopier (at your part or school) USE It! I'yard not going to be the ane to tell yous to steal copies, merely making minis can be quite expensive, and so if y'all happen to accept a friend who has a friend…

Footstep vi: Make a mock-up

I cannot say strongly plenty: this is a VITAL footstep. Yous MUST make a mockup of your minicomic if yous don't want to make a screw-upward.

A mockup is a deceptively elementary thing. Kickoff with your list from Step iii. Let's say that you lot've decided to make a 20-folio digest-sized minicomic, including xvi pages of comics, a FC, a BC, a blank IFC, and the indicia on the IBC.

20 pages in a digest-sized mini…how many sheets is that? There are four sides to each folded-once canvas, so that makes five sheets.

Take five sheets of scrap paper, fold them in one-half the long way, and you've got the basis of your mockup.

The side by side step is to refer to your listing once again and to label each of the pages in a bold, visible way with both folio number and what goes on that page. Make certain that you underline the "vi" and the "ix", for accurate future ID, since they are inverted versions of the same shape. Likewise underline any number that could be read the aforementioned way upside down, like the "1" and the "viii". Make sure your note organisation is something you'll understand after you put this away and come dorsum to it. That's it! (see right)

Using the mockup is a bit more complicated. starting time, you lot unfold information technology, and lay it apartment. Option upwardly the top sheet of paper, what was the center of the book. Notice that is has pages 10 and 11 written on top.

Now, flip just the top sheet over. Pages 9 and 12 are next to each other.

It's very confusing, really almost incommunicable in all but the simplest books, to try to figure out these juxtapositions without the help of a mockup. particularly if yous're making a comic that requires more than one fold. Above you lot tin can see what an 8-page mini-sized imposition guide looks like.

Yous can see that the pages aren't even all facing the same management.

Step 7: Chief copy

Now you've got your artwork scaled properly and photocopied, and yous've got a mockup/imposition guide of your minicomic. The next step is to ready a main from which you lot tin can re-create your comic. I volition start by explaining the process with Olde-Fashioned scissors, tape, paste, and whiteout, but many people now do this on the computer. It doesn't really matter, as long every bit you go the pages in the right gild!

Traditional paste-upwardly

What you lot'll demand: your imposition guide, your photocopied-to-size artwork, as many clean sheets of newspaper as you planned for your minicomic (and, of course, the aforementioned size every bit you planned), a black pen or marker, white-out, scissors, and tape or paste. A ruler wouldn't injure, either.

Start of all, set up your imposition guide out in front of yous, open it to the heart, and get a make clean sheet of paper. Following the numbering on the imposition guide, advisedly trim and neatly paste or tape down the corresponding pages of your artwork.

Then, flip the master page over and also flip the imposition guide page over, and paste the pages of your art that correspond to that side of your imposition guide onto your master copy. Use a ruler, go on information technology bang-up.

Proceed thus through your entire imposition guide, so that when you terminate, y'all have a stack of pasted-up chief copies that correspond exactly to the order you figured out with the imposition guide. Gently fold the master sheets (without creasing them) and page through the "book", double and triple-checking that everything is in the right order. THIS IS Ane OF THE BIGGEST PLACES WHERE MISTAKES HAPPEN. CHECK Three TIMES!

Now, go through the master copy, whiteout blobs and marks, and blacken-in grayish bits. Remember that everything that is on these pages will exist on your last mini. Be picky nearly it.

"Paste-up" on the figurer

If you know how to utilise InDesign, or Photoshop (or whatever) and have access to a expert scanner and printer, you lot can "paste up" your master copy on the computer. Basically information technology'south the exact same process; you still demand an imposition guide on paper in front end of you, you only don't need to cut and paste physically.

Annotation: make sure your scans are adept enough for print. they should exist at least 600 dpi for grayscale, and 1200 dpi for linework (bitmap). If you desire to use graytones, try to stick to three values at the almost (i.e xxx% , 60% and 90%), since a photocopier will exaggerate them, making darks darker and lights lighter.

You are not allowed from triple-checking just considering you are using a reckoner. Just the reverse, probably. Print everything out using high-res settings, stack information technology like the imposition guide, and gently fold it into "book" shape, without creasing the pages. flip through it and make certain it all looks OK. If you like, you tin can utilize paper clips to remind you which sides should be dorsum to back.

Press from the chief

Yous can either print your mini directly from this copy, or you tin can brand a two-sided photocopy of each folio and utilise that. The advantage of the beginning selection is that your final mini volition be 1 generation closer to your original fine art, and the disadvantage is that it's more fragile, which ways yous can't utilise the automated paper handler on the photocopier (which ways more than opportunity for messing upward the copy guild and orientation). The advantage of the second method is that you can run that master through the automatic newspaper handler in the photocopier, and let it do the double-sided matter for you, and collating, too. If yous use the 2nd method, be sure to check for shadows or nighttime lines on the 2d-generation master made past the edges of the pasted-up pages, and embrace them up with whiteout.

Estimator paste-upward people have the same question as for the Olde Fashioned paste-up people, above. Either make copies direct from the prints you made, or brand ane set of double-sided photocopies, and use those as the master.

Last chance before yous spend the big coin to check your master!!

Step 8: Photocopy your mini

Refer back to Step 5 for notes about photocopying, but remember this besides:

The biggest problem yous volition meet at this stage is copying the wrong pages onto each other, or in the wrong orientation to each other (i.eastward. ane is upside down). Now is not the time to quit checking your work! Check and triple-cheque that you lot have the right pages backed with the right pages, the right way effectually. Utilise your imposition guide to check the copies against.

Step 9: Collating

When you get your copies, frequently they will be in separate stacks of nevertheless pages, instead of collated sets. Here is a method for collating in an organized manner.

1. First, arrange the pages into piles that course an assembly line. Clear the space of a table or a clean spot on the floor for this. Lay out your imposition guide in the same way to make certain they are all right side upwards and in the right gild. Your center page should be on the right, center spread of pages facing up, so the next folio out, and and so on.

two. Identify the stack of covers on the right of the social club.

iii. Pick up a center page, lay it on the side by side page, and pick one of those up, and so the adjacent, until you pick up a encompass on the lesser of your little pile.

four. Stack the complete pile horizontally and then stack the next one vertically to keep them separated and make picking up the piles for folding and bounden easier.

Step 10: Folding

OK, OK, you all know how to fold paper. But there are improve and worse ways to practice it, and if you want a professional-looking publication, it's wise to use good folding technique. It's as well faster and easier.

First off, you should go yourself a os folder. It'due south a simple, inexpensive tool that volition save your piddling fingers a lot of pain and misery. And aye, it is really made of os. You vegans tin can get a plastic version, though.

Bone Folder

Step i:
Agree your paper or stack of papers so that the inside is upwards and the time to come spine is facing you lot. Pinch it on both sides and bend the closer edge upward.

Step 2:
With your index fingers on top and your other fingers inside the volume, fold the nearly edge over the far edge. Exercise NOT CREASE Information technology Withal. Looking downward on the fore edge (the function where the book will open up, top of movie 2), line up the corners as accurately as possible.

Step 3:
Using your not-ascendant hand (I'm a rightie, then it'south my left paw) printing downwards on the fore edge and clench information technology in place, then the corners tin can't motility out of alignment. And then, apply the tip of your bone folder (or your finger, or a (closed) pen), put it on the rolled newspaper, and pull information technology towards you, drawing downwards the middle of the fold, and crease just that middle point.

Stride 4:
Using the edge of your bone folder—and now is when you commencement to be really happy that you got one—put it downwardly in that little crease in the center, and draw information technology out towards the corner, as well every bit towards you, in a sweeping motion. Recall to proceed your other paw clamped down hard on the paper so it doesn't shift.

Step 5:
Starting from the centre again, crease the other side with the same kind of sweeping out-and-downward move. Voila! perfect fold.

One more matter:

If you are going to fold the paper again, at that place is another bone-folder play a trick on that volition come up in handy.

When yous are at the "sweeping" stage, get ahead and crease the corner where the pages are open, just stop your motion when you're working in the other direction before you go to to the corner where you are folding the already-folded edge. When y'all get there, you'll come across that the newspaper has a tendency to want to bunch up there, and wrinkle, and mess up your overnice alignment (this is especially true when you lot're doing a tertiary fold). So. Put the betoken of your bone folder simply within the corner, press information technology gently into the crease, and draw information technology out towards you. This will help straighten out the wrinkles.

Now proceed with creasing the spine.

If the spine still doesn't desire to straighten out, earlier you crease it all the way you can pull it out a lilliputian and crease a little and then pull it out once more, working information technology into the fold bit by flake. With only one canvass folded twice, or thin paper, you may not need to use this technique, merely it'south very useful every bit the stack gets thicker.

Stride 11: Binding

The easiest way to bind a comic is to staple it. There's not a lot to explain almost that, except for the fact that most minicomics (especially digest-sized and up) won't fit into a standard stapler, so y'all have to utilize a specialized 1. There are two types: a long-neck stapler, which is quite cheap, merely also hard to use accurately, since information technology's basically just a regular stapler with an extension on the back with an adjustable stop. Better, simply besides more expensive, is a "saddle stapler", which has a shaped base to put your folded booklets on. You can often use the long-neck or saddle stapler for gratis at the photocopy shop where you lot've copied your pages.

Ii stapling tips: Make sure the fold of the spine is centered directly under the place where the staple points come out, and make sure to use at least two staples, fifty-fifty on small booklets, since one staple will non give you sufficient stability. Oh, and remember that the teeth of the staple should be on the Inside of the comic.

OK, that's out of the manner. Now permit'due south talk near how, just as with every other aspect of your minicomic—shape, size, cover design—there are endless possibilities for binding. some simple ideas come immediately to mind:

• You tin can run your comics through a sewing machine  (Sample from And I saw Edgar Allen Poe by David & Jerry Tompkins)
• Apply a hole punch and yarn
• Utilize manufactured binding systems like sliding metal straps and things that you can get at office supply companies. Kalah Allen used brass plough buttons on her comic (Sample from: Jar of Pennies by Kalah Allen)

There are too lots of interesting traditional volume bindings that do a dandy job on minis.

And, hey, impress us! Come with something new!
