5.0 out of 5 stars I wish more books were like this one., August 10, 2001

By	SphilipR "SphilipR" (NY USA) - See all my reviews

A wonderfully straight -forward how-to book on the technicalities and the various methods of binding books. Concentrates exclusively on stitching, introducing many methods unfamiliar to me that are both beautiful and practical. The instructions and drawings are clear uncluttered and easy to follow. The photo's are basic but intended to inform rather than the seduce the unaware into a purchase. It contained everything I needed to know. I wish more books were like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!, May 2, 2001

By	Rick Magley (Hays, KS United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My boss bought a copy of this book for the graphics department (an old edition). I read a few paragraphs and flipped through the pages for a few minutes, then got on Amazon and ordered my own copy. The book would make a fantastic text book for a book making class. It goes into great detail, yet allows for creativity. I'd recommend it highly.

3.0 out of 5 stars An in depth look into how to "artistically" bind books, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This book was a little too long winded on the artistic way of book binding. It did have some good projects included, but overall it had many impractical designs that cannot produce a book that can be readily used. If you are looking for an artistic approach to book binding, then this is an excellent example. If though, you are looking for a book by which you can learn to make books that can be used, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
