With Apologies to Woolnough the 2020 binding Challenge

 

 The John Willis Annual Binding Challenge.

 Just before the pandemic broke we announced the  challenge. Following the passing of John Willis, long time editor of the Guild Newsletter, it was decided to name the challenge  The John Willis Annual Binding Challenge. and so 2020 was the first challenge with this name.

 

The Challenge 

To bind in any style the Chapbook With Apologies To Woolnough by Robert McLaren, with woodcuts by David Harris, and also printed by David Harris.

 

Just 8 copies of the book were available  5 bound copies entered for examination at our meeting in November 2020. Shown in no particular order.
