It's glued in. The hinge is a rectangular plastic piece about 5 1/8 x 1 x 1/16".
I made a base of very thin aircraft plywood (great stuff for this kind of work), glued the hinge to that with contact cement, then built up the area around the hinge with more aircraft plywood so I would have a completely flat surface to glue the marbleized paper on. Then I glued the whole thing to the inside cover of the Leonardo book. Everything was cut with an Exacto knife, and I used a stainless steel straight edge to make perfect cuts. I always try to follow the old rule: measure 2-3 times and cut once
Won't be able to post the tutorial for a few weeks.
