Book Reviews of Books, Boxes & Portfolios: Binding, Construct and Design, Step-By-Step
Book Review: A clear and useful introduction to bookbinding
Summary: 5 Stars
I have done several bookbinding and box-building projects, and have looked at a number of books on the subjects. This is the best introduction I have seen. I wish I had had it when starting out.
The language is clear and effective. The illustrations (mostly drawings) are also clear and effective. There is a helpful listing of the tools needed. All are simple hand tools, and none are particularly expensive. The suggested materials are currently widely available. If you are thinking of doing a bookbinding project, and have no experience, this book is highly recommended.
