From the Back Cover

Papermaking by hand is carried on professionally by only a small number of dedicated papermakers around the world. Yet the craft of papermaking attracts interest from many areas - bookmakers, calligraphers, artists, teachers, sculptors, and printers. The problem has always been where to buy supplies and machinery. Here, at last, is a book that lists sources of equipment and products worldwide for the hand papermaker. It addresses professionals and amateurs alike, listing sources of supply for all types of fibers, pulps, stampers, beaters, moulds and deckles, vats, felts and presses, dyes and pigments. It also lists papermaking kits, Japanese and oriental supplies, vacuum systems, pulp sprayers, paper information resources, workshops, magazines, and videos. (7 3/4 X 10, 112 pages, b&w photos, illustrations, diagrams)

This review is from: A Hand Papermaker's Sourcebook (Paperback)

This book has been quite helpful to us - if you search the net for suppliers for papermaking, only 2 or 3 come up that sell anything more than expensive kits. This book explains the equipment, uses and then lists suppliers - worldwide. Unfortunately, no e-mails or web addresses. But you can get info even on archival supplies, fibres, workshops - an extensive range that you probably wouldn't have thought of yourself. Serious papermakers should get this book.
