A Really Good Primer for Novices,
By Kristin Aileen Motlagh (Westerville, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bookbinding for Book Artists (Paperback)
This book is excellent for a person who is interested in learning more about bookbinding, but has no practical experience. You will learn the techniques of two well-known masters of the trade, and you can do it with common household items. It requires no special tools or equipment. Also, the diagrams provided are extremely useful in illustrating each step of a particular activity. I personally was amazed at how much I could do without special equipment. This book is for people who would really like to learn more about the art of bookbinding and perhaps continue with it as a career. You will learn the terminology. You will learn how to sew or paste book bindings. You will learn how to use cloth and leather to cover your books.

Learn what you need for bookbinding,
By Signed "J" (Sunnyvale, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bookbinding for Book Artists (Paperback)
We used this book in a college class I took called "Book Art". This book is written in a straightforward manner with clear and simple illustrations where needed.Among its explanation of book binding techniques, it covers specific stitching, and has directions for making archival paste (wheat paste). The benefit of two expert authors is that whenever they differ in techniques, they describe both and you can choose a method to fit your style.

The Bible re: bookbinding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bookbinding for Book Artists (Paperback)
This is the one book that all people interested in bookbinding should read. Other books are more colorful and flashy, but Kevin Smiths' Bookbinding for Book Artists is the best book on the fundamentals of bookbinding on the market today. The book is clear, concise, challenging, and creative. A beginner can understand and implement every project described, and Mr. Smith shows you how to make and, as important, how to THINK about making books simply, artfully, and beautifully.
