Field notes
The dated entries document practical choices as well as finished specimens: blotter changes during damp weather, typewriter labels, and the trade-off of spending about four times longer with linen strapping and methyl cellulose. For books holding many pressed plants, the bindery uses paper guards to accommodate the added thickness; the maker notes that an empty guarded book can look as though pages are missing.
