More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This must-have book for newcomers to the popular art of bookmaking teaches all the basics and features easy and interesting projects that allow self-expression and experimentation. More experienced bookmakers and paper enthusiasts will also note that it offers a wealth of practical tips and techniques in one handy resource.
All the basic bookmaking techniques include lots of specialized tips. Simple book structures, miniature books, and a wide variety of projects that highlight themes such as travel, music, even wearable books -- a book necklace and earrings -- provide creative variations on traditional ideas.
The authors share innovative, unique, and previously unpublished binding structures that incorporate scrolls, flaps, folders, and more. In addition, some book projects are made from unusual materials or found objects, such as a book out of a ukulele, a real accordion book, a book diorama in a cigar box, and other experimental creations.

Don't be misled by the title of this book. It is NOT "More Making Books by Hand", it's just "Making Books by Hand". The copy I have only has the word "More" on the inside and not on the outer cover, I don't know why the authors let the publishers get away with this glaring mistake.
That said, I found this book inspiring and creative, though the instructions on making the books could have used less words and still have been easy enough to follow. If the authors had used more diagrams and less words, they could've squeezed maybe 5 or 6 more book-making projects into this book. There are 12 projects explained in detail, with full-colour photos: 1)miniature case-bound book, 2)accordion book with pockets, 3)case-bound fold-out accordion book, 4)nested accordion pop-up-fold book, 5)accordion pleat spine stab-sewn book, 6)case-bound pocket portfolio, 7)dowel spine portfolio, 8)scrolling book, 9)flap book, 10)dowel hinge spine accordion book, 11)found object books, 12)hollow book. Some of the techniques are unique to the authors, who have been generous enough to share them with the world.
That's my only gripe about this book - the unneccessary use of too many words where pictures would have served just as well; otherwise I'd have given it a rating of 5 stars. An excellent effort!

This book is not a 'supplement' to the book 'Making Books By Hand' as you might guess from the the title, but merely a reprint published in the US. In other words, it is an exact copy and should definitely not be ordered with a view to extending information found in 'Making Books By Hand'!

You are shown, step by step and very clearly, how to make a variety of unusual and imaginative books, and the ilustrations will surely fire your own creative engines, and send you along a diversity of roads.
A useful, welcome addition to the library of any any artist or book maker.
