Reader ReviewsThis book is excellent for a person who is interested in learning more about bookbinding, but has no practical experience. You will learn the techniques of two well-known masters of the trade, and you can do it with common household items. It requires no special tools or equipment. Also, the diagrams provided are extremely useful in illustrating each step of a particular activity. I personally was amazed at how much I could do without special equipment. This book is for people who would really like to learn more about the art of bookbinding and perhaps continue with it as a career. You will learn the terminology. You will learn how to sew or paste book bindings. You will learn how to use cloth and leather to cover your books.
