Beautiful.

Angela James, The Handmade Book (Story Publishing, 2000) A thin, information-packed craft volume, The Handmade Book contains a number of projects for those who'd like to (as you can probably guess from the title) make their own books. Everything is spelled out, and the text is lavishly illustrated to give you extra guidance. Note that we're not talking "regular"-shaped books here, but all sorts of interesting ideas, some of which might not fit on your bookshelves. Great ideas to be had. ****

I bought this book a few weeks ago, and I am dreaming of making almost every project in this book. The photographs are beautiful. The explanantions and directions are very good. Very inspiring.
Useful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I thought this book was very useful forthe amateur bookmaker. I thought the photographs were excellent. In a craft book I want photos of the finished product that make it plain how it should appear. This book has many useful detailed photos of the steps taken to build the finished book as well as the completed project. What I especially like in craft books are ones that give me ideas and teach me new skills, rather than a strictly cookbook approach. You can thumb the pages of this book and get lotsof inspiration. I especially liked the chapter on the cross structure book. This is a unique book that is not clearly documented in other books.
