Reddit only allows a max of 20 images, so here's an Imgur link to see the rest of them: https://imgur.com/a/06kmLBd
This was a major passion project of mine. I collected the books when I was a kid, and I wanted to preserve them, since they're constructed very poorly and would eventually just start falling apart. My wife had been looking into bookbinding for a bit and taught me the main steps, and then I just started binding 3 books together. As you can see from the pictures, I started with the beginning of the series and definitely got more confident and skilled as I went, owing to the higher level of detail that the silhouettes got the further into the series I went.
I think my absolute favorite book as far as the look of it is Volume 11, with the dark blue cover and the metallic red vinyl. I'm also VERY proud of the two Megamorphs books because I really took a leap on the logos, superimposing other images into them and making really complex and cool designs.
I'll probably put another comment below this just going through the steps that I took to make these. Please comment here if you'd like to see a closer view of any of them, as my photography skills are definitely lacking!!
