Book Reviews of Making Books by Hand: A Step-by-Step Guide
Book Review: good photos of each step
Summary: 3 Stars
The best thing about this book is the birds-eye-view photos of each step. The projects use only very basic stitching. I think this would be ok for a beginner, but I still think the best way to use how-to books like these is to take a class first; otherwise the steps can seem overwhelming.
