I'd truly love to have it signed by Stephen one day. Oh, and did he really see the book in its printed version? *squeee* mvet88 on "Birthday Project 2012!" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/25#post-287113 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 12:54:56 +0000 mvet88 287113@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <blockquote><cite>EllieK <a href="//www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/24#post-287111"">said</a>:</cite> Also the main reason I want a hard copy is so I can hand it to him to be signed the next time he does a signing somewhere! <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> </blockquote> Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?? Alas I too, would have to pay someone (about a weeks worth of wages I'm guessing) to make a hard copy for me.

I really REALLY want a copy of the book like tsirafauna's, but even getting the printing done to a sufficiently high standard would be an issue and I don't know the first thing about book-binding! Also the main reason I want a hard copy is so I can hand it to him to be signed the next time he does a signing somewhere! <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" /> Fryphile on "Birthday Project 2012!" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/24#post-287099 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 22:27:59 +0000 Fryphile 287099@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ The book is so overwhelmingly wonderful that even Jeeves would giggle profusely at it.

I've never used book binding glue before, there's a craft manufacture here in the uk that make one, might have to invest in some & try it out. ginj on "Birthday Project 2012!" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/24#post-287059 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 22:46:37 +0000 ginj 287059@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ You all did a fabulous job on that book. Congratulations, you all made him so happy. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Ellie, excellent job putting it all together. Tsirafauna, I thought you were a genius when I saw how well you put together an ecopy, but the paperback edition looks just as if not even more fabulous. Really and excellent job. tsirafauna on "Birthday Project 2012!" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/24#post-287055 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 22:09:44 +0000 tsirafauna 287055@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ @lonesome aesthetic: I think it's called "perfect binding" in English... I have special glue that bookbinders use. not sure how long the pages will stick together though, I've never bound a book this way (I usually use coptic stitch binding to make books). maybe if I never read it... <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";)" class="bb_smilies" /> @Desideria maybe you could try to print the single page version? here's the link: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32660898/the_fluffette_chronicles_single_page.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32660898/the_fluffette_chronicles_single_page.pdf</a> Desideria on "Birthday Project 2012!" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/24#post-287053 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:49:53 +0000 Desideria 287053@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Beautiful!

Is there any way that you can attach it to something firmer? It's been so long since doing so that I've forgotten how. Edit: Oh wait, that would cover the cover then. Never mind. lonesome aesthetic on "Birthday Project 2012!" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/birthday-project-2012/page/24#post-287049 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 21:47:58 +0000 lonesome aesthetic 287049@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ That looks amazing!

The book looks completely spectacular! I'm so pleased and honoured to have been part of this Fluffette project, and hope to be involved in more in the future! Thanks for including me, guys!
