NEW IN PAPERBACK
The beautiful, creative, and ancient art of bookbinding offers countless design options for selecting exquisite papers and board, fabrics for the cover, ribbons to use as markers, and other decorative touches that capture a book's spirit. From aligning and folding the sheets to stitching the body to adding attractive endpapers, this manual provides in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals, giving you the skills to fashion personalized note, recipe, and date books in a range of styles. It covers all the materials (including adhesives, seams, and tapes); cutting the paper; forming the book block; and reinforcing bindings.

Each one is far lovelier when handcrafted!
This beautifully illustrated and detailed guide... has several practice projects for learning the techniques of classical bookbinding...illustrated step by step in close-up photographs. A good guide for anyone wanting professional quality results, this book belongs in public library or academic arts and crafts collections.Library Journal.
