About The Book

If you write or take notes, draw, sketch, paint, collect material in albums or portfolios, and want to do so in one-of-a-kind bindings, or wish to create unique books for any purpose, this beautifully illustrated guide explains the main techniques of simple bookbinding and offers step-by-step instruction for an array of projects you'll want to make - to own, sell, or give as special gifts. It includes a brief history of handmade books, offers a vocabulary of bookbinding terms, describes the tools and materials you need, and explains how to make glued, tied, folded, accordion, sewn, and hinged books. (7 1/2 X 10 1/4, 80 pages, color photos, color & b&w diagrams)
