Bunsen ~ a Discovery Album

An easy-to-make stick-it-into-the-book

A Bunsen Book is designed to allow for items ~ photographs ~ memorabilia ~ to be attached to the pages. To enable this the hinge is padded-out with small stubs. The design and techniques can be up~or~downsized at your discretion. This particular style of construction permits quite large books from smaller sheet sizes ~ the penalty being a little extra time in construction.
