4.0 out of 5 stars A valuable follow-up to "Cover to Cover", 9 Dec 2001
By A Customer
"Cover to Cover" remains the best single book for those interested in making their own books but this is an excellent follow-up. She concentrates on concertina binding, star tunnel books, pamphlet and running stitch, tacket binding, and coptic stitch. As before, there are plenty of inspiring examples..

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars All The Way, 18 Feb 2009
By Tiffany Ann (Black Diamond Bay) - See all my reviews
"The Art & Craft of Handmade Books: New Ideas and Innovative Technique" is such a great book on creating/making your own handmade books and journals. The book is full of amazing photographs to give ideas and inspiration, the instructions are comprehensive, and the added diagrams guide you through the process of page folding and binding stitches.

All in all, this book is fantastic!
