Description

This guide to creating hand-crafted books offers a modern and stylish approach to the traditional craft of bookbinding. Written by the founders of the London Centre for Book Arts, it's a comprehensive resource for both beginners and experienced bookmakers.

Starting with an introduction to the bindery and a list of necessary tools and equipment, you'll learn about different paper types and special finishes such as cloth coverings, headbands, and ribbon markers. The book then takes you through clear step-by-step instructions for six different hand-made book types, from simple pamphlets and concertinas to more elaborate multi-section bindings.

With over 20 possible outcomes from just six projects, and additional advice on advanced techniques and specialist bindings, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to create beautiful books by hand. Practical and inspirational photography guides readers through each stage of the process, showcasing the unique results that can be achieved.
