Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Many unique books can be made by building on just two basic structures, the Eastern-based accordion fold and the Western-developed codex (the kind with sewn pages). Artist and bookbinder Sue Doggett explains both methods in detail, supporting the step-by-step instructions with colored diagrams. The book stresses process over product; the 10 projects in the final chapter are as fully explained as the techniques and variations in the first six chapters, but the scope of the project section is far more limited and the photos of finished products less numerous than in some other titles. Newcomers or those with less time will find more immediate satisfaction with a choice like Marie Browning's Handcrafted Journals, Albums, Scrapbooks & More. But for those interested in an in-depth lesson on high-quality creations, this is an excellent guide to the subject. --Amy Handy
