The essential guide to making handmade books

by Gabrielle Fox

This book is very suitable for an ambitious beginner as it gives a number of ways to make a multi-section pamphlet book which is often one of the first books that bookbinders attempt to understand paper grain and sewing. Other items like the tunnel book could interest those who want to undertake more novel projects. The photographs are attractive and they look to be comprehensive in showing how each project can be achieved.
