bookbinding proposal

Description

The description of the raft and life on the river, as Huck and Jim floated downstream, called to Peter Thomas' creative imagination.The book will be bound as a raft-like structure. He had previously explored the concept of binding unsewn books by rolling the sections and using those cylinders as architectural elements of the book structure. Thomas realized that these ideas could be further explored in a binding of Huckleberry Finn, as the cylinders could be made to resemble the logs of a raft.
