Cooking Up a Medieval Book? Maybe

I'm starting, slowly, to make a book like I've never made before. The signatures are sewn on raised cords, then the spine is rounded for a 1 cm book board. After I'm finished the spine should have bumps on it.

Here are three pictures of this glorious work in progress. The first problem I've encountered is I have made too few signatures. Seven is too few. It would be better to have maybe 15 at least. Maybe even twenty.
