[Hartwood] Book count: numbers!

[Amber]

Yes, I was hoping that the bigger books would make the chest look more full. 
The books average 2.5 cm thick.  I have been using 4 folded half sheets of 
photocopy paper.  I wanted to books to be thick enough to be useful as 
journals or mini sketchbooks.
I have to say that it's become somewhat addictive.  I was going to stop at 
10, then I thought a dozen but I can't just stop.

James suggested 6 quires of 4 sheets each, and we've been doing 4
quires of 6 sheets each. That you are doing 14 signatures is amazing!
Most of our books are 3" x 4 1/3", small enough for a pouch; yours are
double, more journal size (Margarite is doing a few of this larger
size, too).

Our calculations showed 140 of the smaller size would pack the tourney
chest tight; with your larger size, 100 books total will make it that
much fuller-looking! (1 journal size = 4 pocket size +/-)

Excellent work!
