Over 20 Bookbinding Projects that Inspire and Delight

Bari Zaki

Description

Learn how to make a range of beautiful handbound books with step-by-step instructions. Starting with an overview of basic bookbinding tools, discover what materials should be used depending on the book you would like to produce, and get advice on grain direction, gluing, folding and trimming.

Each project comes with illustrations of the author's work for that specific structure, including the use of alternative materials for additional inspiration. Follow advice on drawing, collaging, collecting ephemera, preserving memories and displaying photographs in your finished product and understand how to appreciate your work and fill those pages – yes, it's beautiful, but not too beautiful to use!

From sketchbooks, envelopes and journals to concertina and Japanese-style binding, find out what makes the perfect book for you. Whether you are a bookbinding novice or an experienced binder, this is the ideal book to start learning or perfecting your skills.
