Book Reviews of The Craft of Bookbinding
Book Review: So so
Summary: 4 Stars
Many of the methods Banister uses in this book are finicky and overcomplicated, but they get the job done nonetheless. His instructions may be difficult for some to follow, but there are tons of great photographs. I also love that Banister gives instructions for how to build several presses yourself - they can be very pricy if purchased ready made!
