The plain sheetsonly are thus creased—not the coloured. Beforepasting the two together, fold out the creases, so thatthe paper will return to the original shape shown inFig. 12, H. Place the paste on with the finger, asshown in Fig. 15, and attach the papers together asshown in Fig. 16. The papers are then placed to dryunder the pressure of a light weight. Many endpapers may be prepared at the same time, and placed. Fig. t6. in a pile, under the same weight. When they aredry it will be found easy to fold them back into theoriginal creases, which will place the four sheets in themanner seen in Fig. 17. —If the worker will adopt the following ruleand always carry it out, little difficulty will beexperienced :—Crease and paste only the plainpapers, and always attach the coloured ones to the convenience of the reader we shall contentourselves hereafter by describing the coloured,marbled, or figured papers simply as coloured, all 30 PRACTICAL BOOKBINDING. others as plain, and as a further guide the fourpapers are marked numerically,* Fig 17, in orderto save a great amount of needless repetition in thefollowing chapters.
