A new word for my vocabulary! Interesting story behind it, too. Thanks, Liz! Always a decorator at heart, the idea is pleasing to me. But if the story inside isn't satisfying I won't care what color the edges of its pages were. Still, I'm for whatever it takes to create new readers! BTW, I agree that the Wareham B&N is quite nice!
Had no idea this had a name--thanks for such an informative post. (I'm sorta tempted to "spredge" my own book… maybe in colored pencil… It should would liven up the look on the TBR pile on my nightstand.
I’m so glad when I see young people excited about reading! Also, I’ve been fantasizing about French flaps and deckled edges for my next novel. Now I have to think about spredging! Wow.

Thanks, Kate! I couldn't agree more 😊

Ahaha, that's a good idea!
I would be so scared of doing damage to such books but would also love to handle them (with the utmost care!). And spredging - such an amazing word!
Yes, me too. And where do you even put such a work of art?

I will look forward to seeing that :) Fun stuff!
