Lectern Book
A downloadable tool
August 2024: HEY! Hi there! When I put this spreadsheet together, almost two years ago, I never thought it would see the number of views and downloads it has. Especially in the last few months, it seems to have taken off and I am overjoyed and slightly bewildered. I can't find any links to it, so if you've ended up here from somewhere else and you have a moment, could you add a comment in below so I can see where it's coming from. Many thanks and hope you find the sheet useful!
An Excel spreadsheet to calculate the size of pieces to make up a book cover that supports itself an angle on the table to be easier to read.
The original is by The Cuneo Press of New England, "Type Faces", featured in a video shared by @Lett_Arc on Twitter.
I made a few rough copies then thought about the maths a bit and came up with what I think is a good set of calculations. Please let me know if you find anything out of whack with it.

Here from tiktok @bookbindingbum had a video figuring out how to make this same thing and someone in the comments was pointing people to your template. Many thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! That solves the mystery. Very pleased that people are finding it useful!
