type specimen book - first attempt

Here's a type specimen attempt for y'all to peruse.

The text is (in my opinion)the world's best-written mid-life crisis - T. S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.


The poem stores as an accordion-book. I'll post a version with markings for the folds shortly.
