If you see any misspellings on the covers.... no you didn't..

When I say that I screamed at the top of my lungs when you ripped the cover page, it would be an understatement...

This is just personal preference but I always preferred those “busy” covers. Though I will admit the more minimal covers do have a sophisticated air to them that I still find really appealing. They look really impressive!

Jess: This brings me no pain... Me: I wonder what she is about to do... Jess: rips front cover off Me: THIS BRINGS ME AN UNFATHOMABLE AMOUNT OF PAIN!

Ah yes, Battle of the Labyrintht, my favorite PJO book… As a longtime Percy Jackson fan and Jess Less fan, this was extremely enjoyable and very cool to watch!!

I just wanna say that as a fellow artist and fanfic/book obsessed girl, youve really inspired me and got me into book binding, and ive used many of your tactics and ideas to make some of my own 😁

The minute you said “I like the Percy Jackson movie” I was in pain, distress, sorrow, I was having a full mental breakdown down

what's so cool about these covers is that an collector's edition was just released for the Lightning Thief and it looks crazy similar to these

No one: Jess: "now we have a nice and curved spine much like what my doctor said right before I got diagnosed with scoliosis"

OH MY GOD I LOVE THE PJO SERIES! Irnoiclly enough I'm dyslexic and ADHD myself and Greek at that, all three factors actually kept me from reading the books till late in my 8th grade through 9th grade years of school. But, once I did I was hooked!!! I do have to say some things in the books haven't aged well but the author owns up to that pretty well and it isn't done on purpose. But I cant wait for you to read them!! Honestly great books and Percy has guts, that little kids is Per-sassy though and though!! I come to your channel for your creative content and I consider myself a part of many fandoms, no matter what you chose to make art for I think it'll be thoroughly fun an entertaining or at least it should be for you! Anyway thanks for the great video!!!

As much as i love the original covers, these covers are beautiful 😍 they look so professionally done. And as someone who's read Percy Jackson more than once, these covers really do represent the feel of the stories

About the sniffing the book? Nah that’s not weird we all do it lol

I just love to see these books getting a well deserved leather re-design. I'm also an amateur bookbinder (got too excited watching Martina make so many books) and I did my first book in the first lockdown (because why not?) with no tools. Sort of. I used everything I could find at home that looked like a good substitute xd

You'll love the books. After that, the sequel series is Heroes of Olympus. You could bind those too if you wish.

The uneven blue makes it look like water which is perfect

1. Those covers are awesome. Glad this appeared on my feed. 2. Thief is one of the words I have dyslexic moments over. I had to look it up. So in addition to the extra T in labyrinth, you have the E before the I in thief. Wabi Sabi. They're beautiful. They're yours. Reading them will be worth every moment you spent with them already (I say only ever reading the first one.)

I honestly would never shut up on how much I love your bookbinding vids. I honestly want to bind a book someday, and I thank you for getting me into this wonderful craft!

As a lover of crafts, a fan of Percy Jackson, and an aspiring graphic designer/book illustrator I loved this video! So much attention to detail and they ended up looking amazing!!

11:50 just giving impeccable TARDIS/River Song journal blue that awoken something in me

these look fantastic!! hope you enjoyed the series, it's one of my favourites and i'm soo excited for them to get the adaptation they deserve!

i love watching you book bind, it has really inspired me to try it out myself!. Honestly, any project of yours is interesting and I would totally watch them :)

You did an absolutely beautiful job on the covers, these books hold a special place in my heart and seeing someone take their time to make the books into a leather bound set that fits the books brings me so much joy. I hope you enjoy reading the Percy Jackson books as much as the rest of us likely have. I know this likely will not be seen but I still wish to leave this here, I hope whoever may be reading this is having a good day/night.

As a big Percy Jackson fan even though ripping the covers hurt the end result was genuinely worth it and STUNNING

I'm a really big fan of the PJO series and I have to say I was shocked and depressed when you tore of the covers of the books but seeing you make new and even better covers was worth it. I love your work and this is like the first video of your channel that I saw but I love it already.

JESS!!!! This looks A M A Z I N G! As a huge PJO fan growing up, I can't tell you how EXCITED I felt when I saw this video! Also, it's amazing to see your progress and improvement throughout all your book-binding projects :) I love your videos, MCYT and now this, can't wait to see what is coming up next!

Honestly these look fantastic, I don't know if you can even call yourself an amateur anymore! I might attempt a project like this sometime, as I already have a shelf shrine to all of Rick Riordan's books. I hope that you enjoy the Percy Jackson series, they truly are fantastic! Keep up all the great work!

This is my first video of yours and I'm honestly hooked. These books look great, you're definitely writing about the dye being imperfect it really gives them character! I'd love to see you do this with other book series, especially ones you're more familiar with so you can go all out designing the covers.

When you went to glue the covers and then needed to push 🤣I LOST IT! Blue dye nails are hilarious! Also thanks so much for showing us the realistic process for us to try it out. I don't have years of hours in every skill and too expensive equipment ❤

I came here a few months ago for that magical MCYT content and by god am I staying for any other content you make! I’ve never read the Percy Jackson books either, but you skills are just too cool to not look at! Beautiful cover and a nice video! Great job!

recently I've been into trying to bind fanfics and re-bind old books (whether they just have ugly covers or they're falling apart). finding your videos has been a LIFESAVER!!!!!

I love watching people give books the love they deserve by rebinding them. And doing rebinds in leather! That color blue is EVERYTHING!! 💜 💜 💜 Very well done and absolutely gorgeous work Also I'm sure you've gotten this a lot by now, but I highly highly HIGHLY recommend Sea Lemon's diy book press. Made one myself as my first ever press and I still use it even after getting a more professional press

Your video on bookbinding fanfiction made me obsessed with the practice, so even when I wasn't in the fandom of this series or your minecraft series, I watched them. I really want to try it one of these days, for sure. I actually have a book that's literally falling a part with ripped pages due to it falling a part, so. I really wanna do that, but all the prices of these supplies add up 😅. I love the process of this book binding :) The foil and embellishment looks cool.

First I watched a Harry Potter books in Nerdforge's vid.. Now Percy Jackson?? I'm getting a lot of book and fantasy recommendations from KZfaq today... Honestly- I just love it... I actually wanna know how long and how much this cost for this project? Like- just in case I wanna try it out I'd know how much my wallet would cry... Edit: Holy sheesh- I just watched that and commented this like at the start and the Nerdforge- oh gosh XD... That made me laugh XD

The book industry should hire you. I’m not kidding. You’d do us all a favor by creating beautiful book creations 🥺

I just started looking at book rebinding and this was amazing! Great fun content, gave me good chuckles.

Im so glad you get to read these now, especially without having to wait for new books (well... not yet for you at least) and the tv show on the horizon!

I'm so excited to watch this! Your content always makes my day!

THIS IS AMAZING!!! as someone who grew up reading percy jackson and is now into mcyt, this video and this entire channel is amazing! thanks jess!!!! -your fellow floridian

I’ve only seen like 3 videos from you but I can already say you are exactly who I wanna be. Fun, creative, entertaining and ambitious, honestly I would not be able to stick through this entire process I would’ve quit 3 hours in

These are so beautiful! I’m excited to hear what you thought of them when you finish reading! Percy Jackson was my first fandom and I still love the books to this day!

I found you through your fanfiction binding video and your work is so cool!! I’m a big fan of Percy Jackson so it was awesome to see you put your own spin on the covers. Hope you like the books :)

The books look absolutely gorgeous! I also have not read Percy Jackson yet but I really want to before watching the series.

This makes me wanna change all my paper cover books into hard covers but i don't have the materials to do so 🥲 I also love how good these turned out and I hope I can do this too

When doing the spine stiffener figure out the grain direction of the cardstock and align the grain along the long side. Wet one side and it will naturally curl towards the dry one. Give it a bit more curve and it's ready to be glued in place by the cover cloth/paper. Aligning the grain also makes it round with less buckles.

Honestly I really just love the bookbinding process and adding fandoms in it. Really inspires me to do it with my own fanfics... once I'm done writing them lol

The moment I'm over with my exams I'll be throwing myself head-first into bookbinding fanfic and rebinding all my books to have pretty covers. I cannot wait😭 Also, Double Life Hype👀

This is giving me so much confidence as a beginner book binder. I love percy jackson as well ❤

Please do more bookbindings! I wanted to do it for a few years but it I always pushed it aside due to financing and lack of trust in myself. And now you have reminded me why I wanted to start in the first place! :)

Those look amazing, I'm thinking of doing some bookbinding myself and I like your style. Also loved how you made the outro with the "Labyrintht" while keeping "The Lightning Theif" in full display 😂

I’m here for the amazing bookbinding crafts you do! I’m so tempted to use your designs of the books in my illustrations

Loved the video and really enjoyed your sense of humor and editing!

I do the weeding process for work, it's easiest to peel out the center of letters first and as you peel the larger chunks, hold down corners with your weeding tool/tweezers

the one thing i would have changed is different colours for the different books but the finished product still looks amazing ( better then anything i could do lol) well done!

As a frequent viewer of your channel, and a Percy Jackson stan, im not here just for the MCYT content. 8m mainly here for the vibes and you!! Whatever you post I’ll probably watch

I think my soul just left my body in that forst shot of the cover being ripped But it so so so whort it!!! I really live the OG covers as much as any other PJ fan but i find peace in the "simplistic" versions you came up with 💖💖

This is one of the best KZfaq videos I’ve seen in a while I cracked up when you used the Cricut as a book to press Definitely will be on the look out for more vids from you

This is my favorite book series; they look amazing!! 🎉

11:22 holy shit I was not ready for that Technoblade cosplay

I’m so glad I knew where to go to do this project! I already love your videos and now I want to make a hardcover for my husband’s book he just released

I’m just gonna say that this is the first video I’ve ever seen from you, and after looking at your channel (and seeing the UCF flag, go Knights!) I am in LOVE with this channel. You are the like perfect nerd channel for me. Bookbinding, mythology, cosplay, and you apparently watch a bunch of KZfaqrs I do too. I will deffo go on a whole binge of your channel now.

I've never seen a single other video on this channel and when I tell you that part way through this video when both Homestuck and Doublelife were mentioned I was SHOOK

I appreciate the creativity, it's great you had fun with it and enjoyed the process, but as an actual book-binder myself, I can tell you there's a lot of stuff done wrong. Thickness of the leather, the corners, the way the cover was done (duct tape is a no-no) etc. At the of the video, it's apparent you didn't create enough space between the spine and the case and thus it strains the end papers which can eventually result in tearing. It also seems the leather wasn't glued properly since there seem to be a few air bubbles under. But as I said, it's great you had fun with it. 👍

When using the Cricut, wait for the foil to cool, then peel. It will help the foil not to peel up when removing the backing paper. Alternatively, you could use the permanent stick kind that does not need to be ironed on - especially if you are sealing it afterwards. Re: the leather - you can find leather that is a bit thinner so that it is easier to wrap. Awesome tutorial!!

These books look AMAZING, I grew up on this series and I’m glad you did this, they are stunning

1. THIS IS AMAZING I really hope you get to read the books because they really are amazing! 2. I don't know if it's a fandom you ARE interested in but Doctor Who seems right down your street! Can't wait for the next video

The intro had me crying

beautiful, thank you for your time and advice on this wonderful project!

Those books look absolutely lovely, let me tell you I was awe inspired by just the plain leather, it looks so nice and I really want to get my hands on some to do that eventually. And ty for introducing me to binding, it's on of my favorite things now and I'll always enjoy your content

I’m so glad you’re joining the Percy Jackson brainrot! It’s been a fixation of mine for an entire year at this point

Great video as always! If you ever need any ideas for future projects I'd love it if you could make the Book of Prophecies Past and Future from Empires SMP.

I just got into your channel, your videos are so satisfying, I never thought that book binding would be so fascinating. Great video!

I agree with you when you talked about how the smaller the details the harder it is the peal the vinyl, my mom has a cricut and it get difficult to peal off those small details. I actually confinced my mom took not sell our cricut after I watched this video and I showed her all the cool things we can do with it!

I was just watching Percy Jackson videos on KZfaq. I too should have been a Percy Jackson fan earlier too lmao

I JUST FINISHED THE PJO SERIES LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO 😳

You are so.... wowing! I've made myself a book, for poetry, because of you! You are such an inspiration

Love doing book binding as a relaxing hobby, especially when I make a sketch book thanks slot for showing an easier technique

I love mcyt but I also love watching your videos and the process of building things. I’m willing to watch and learn about new fandoms if that means I get to watch amazing content

Jess Less: I usually do one book at a time but this time I'm doing five Me who wants to request for her to do Wings of Fire which has 21 individual books with 18 having physical copies. If that made no sense, the main plot has 15 books separated into 3 arcs with five books each, the two Legends which are bigger stories told from three different protagonists, and the Winglets which are ebooks but have a physical book with all four together

As a big former Percy Jackson fan, this video made me extremely happy! Enjoy your Olympian journey!

This was magnificent! Well done! I love this series i hope you enjoy it

I love watching your videos! Also, a cool idea you could do is make some of the books from Empires SMP!

✨ P e r c y J a c k s o n ✨ Such a cool project and it turned out so well! :)

Wow, what stunning results! Your personality is adorable and I really enjoyed watching your process. Inspiring to not only try bookbinding but also to check out Percy Jackson. Thanks! 😍 from a fellow Floridian

omg you just kinda blew my mind. SO trying to make a long story short, in college I learned how to book-bind for a class. This morning, I saw something that made me want to take it up again. I mostly remembered how to do it, but I needed a refresher so I clicked on your video almost at random (I'm planning to rebind my Percy Jackson books too lol). Imagine my surprise as I'm watching and a logo I MADE (Double Life) appears on the screen out of nowhere. I didn't even know you were somewhat connected to the series haha! Funny how stuff like that happens lol. Anyway great video!

the intro killed me that poor book omg

Seeing my beloved childhood series be ripped apart is not how I thought I’d start my weekend. Also some series suggestions: Six of crows, Wings of Fire, Helen Moss’s secrets of the Tombs series, and The Lost city of Z. Also please please PLEASE let us know how you found the Percy Jackson series!

froma long time fan of the series, you did it justice. the irregular blue makes it look like water, which is very fitting

I have to fandoms: bbc Sherlock and sanders sides! Sanders sides is a series here on KZfaq made by Thomas sanders (the vine guy) where he talks to aspects of his personality, it’s really interesting

You know what you should do? Lizzie’s prophecy book from empires smp session 1

i come back to this video every couple months, it's honestly so satisfying to watch

Do you know how long I have searched for a tutorial for turning a paperback into a hardback? Ages. Absolutely ages. This is amazing. I tried to guesswork it before - but this has cleared up so much! You are the best. Just know that.

I personally enjoy watching your book binding videos, as I don't watch any mcyt. I loved the episode though. On the Percy Jackson movie: while it is horribly inaccurate to the books, it is still a good movie (which can and will be mentioned by every father when they hear the song 'Poker Face' out in the wild)

Imagine going to her house like: Oh you have the Percy Jackson books too? Where’d you get these covers I haven’t seen them before I made them myself.. What? I made them on my own Oh cool No you don’t understand! I cut the leather, I dyed it, I put the letters on! Alright alright chill

Dude, these are GORGEOUS covers. If I had these in hand, I would honestly be so afraid to use them for fear of damaging them. I actually am trying to collect all the Percy Jackson and universe books, in every variant possible, so maybe later down the line I could make my own custom covers. Way later.

I know I'm late to your party, but wow, you are so fun to watch! Great job and entertaining. I have my little notebook out... Anyway, great job, and I too am about to begin my own book-binding journey. Thanks for your video.

Honestly you did a fine job but I personally prefer the original covers

Can you do a book for Technoblade like something similar to Ghostbur with fan art in it and quotes from him as like a memorial you don’t have to it just a suggestion

These are so cool! I'm a huge percy jackson fan and seeing this video made me really happy!

I randomly came across your video and I have to say that I really liked and enjoyed it. I love the final result :) I haven't read this series either, but it is on my list because I like the movie and this makes me want to read it even more. Thanks for the video and the effort you've put on it.

Though I love dream smp. I am now in love with bookbinding. So please make more books!
