I use a glue called Yes from Dick Blick I glue photo copies of my artwork printed on Moab Entrada Rag Natural 190 on to acid free foam board. It is kind of thick and gooey but I spread it on with a palette knife and I notice that it dries very smoothly without any bumps. Is is also relatively fast drying and acid free. You may want to try it on one of your projects.
I love what you are doing along with the devotion to technique and detail.
I am interested in making books, but have only toyed with small efforts. I appreciate all that I am learning from this newsletter. Craft and paper are very important to me.
The book is beautiful. I love calligraphy and this aspect of the book is endearing.
Will do, Richard. I just ordered a pint of the "Yes" from Blick. I'll let you know what I think of it after a get a chance to experiment. Thanks again for the tip.
Have you considered asking a museum conservatore for the book arts? Or the center for the Book inSan Francisco. There is lots of help out there who know which glues, which papers, which bindings for handmade books? Bill@ahearnarts.com

Mistakes are the best teachers and are invaluable for the evolution of the creative process. :)
I imagine the book is stunning to see in person.
