Comp Time 2

We recently produced a 110-page (french-fold 55 leaf) book comp in one day! Created for an incredible man, chancellor emeritus William H. Danforth of Washington University in St. Louis, it features letters he wrote to the University community every Thanksgiving from 1974-1995. I quickly documented how we assembled the book throughout the day/night. It's the largest comp we ever created in the shortest amount of time and it's a great object we love to hold (but not too much - after a few months and many hands, it's slowly falling apart!)
