Format:Hardcover
"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..

A Must Have For Sure!!
18 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover
I just received this the other day and all I can say is WOW!!!
I also own Cover to Cover, but I like this one just as much or better. The samples are just to die for and are very inspiring, and this book has different types of stitches and other books .
If you own Cover to Cover, you need this one too!

Terrific LaPlantz, poor editing
10 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a must-have for anyone who loves bookbindinding and/or is a fan of Shereen LaPlantz' terrific work. There are some excellent structures and lots of great information. It's too bad that such a terrific book had to be marred by poor editing, but it is still very much worth owning. It is extremely relevant to this review to note that corrections to the book are available at http://www.laplantz.com. The book and website taken together deserve FIVE stars.

A must have for book artists!
1 Oct 2001
Format:Hardcover
This book is a must have for anyone who enjoys creating handmade books. It has excellent instructions for creating books with multiple folds and intricate bindings. The diagrams are helpful in the construction of the projects. Also, the gallery pictures of books are a great inspiration. This book was worth the wait after Shereen's Cover to Cover.
