Great pictures!
Published by James Peters , 2 years ago
Finally, a book about bookbinding with great color pictures...it is a newer modern book so it makes sense...
Well explained sections about folding, sewing and covering...most books shown are made with the cover made seperate...a different style of book making....in my opinion not as strong as traditional covers...but I am new to all this and learning.
Learning you can with this book, very clearly written...again lots of great photos/ pictures.
The section with the stuhl used as sewing frame is a wasted filler...lol
All in all a decent book for beginners!
Excellent resource for the beginning bookbinder
