Letter Books

I have been making something I call letter books for about a year now.  I love to write letters!  When I do, I am verbose.  In the past, I have made something akin to a signature for a book...just a few pages folded in the center and bound together to a cardstock cover with some twine.  Of course, I spend a little time decorating that cardstock cover. 

I recently got the book, How to Make Books by Esther K. Smith.  Reading it has inspired me to take my letter books to the next level and try something new.  Here is my first letter book since the reformation.  I still have a decorated cardstock cover, but when you open it up, you find an accordian style enclosure which is part of the book.
