the lacing of the boards; the
the covering with leather, and finally the finished volume.

seen type, the case binding, is illustrated In four stages. In this
method, the book and the case are
prepared for binding separately;
the final step consists in pasting
the end sheets of the book to the
inside of the case.

The Stirrup Cup is happy to announce Raymond Cravens as
its Colonel of the Week.
This represents a distinct change of policy since Ray is not
a journalism major. He is a graduate student in Political Science.
However, Ray does hope someday to be an editorial cartoonist,
so perhaps this is not a complete departure from established policy after all.
