Step by step, this book conveys all the fundamentals and traditional techniques through over 400 illustrations, enabling even beginners to bind books perfectly. Without the need for a special workshop, readers can create books according to their own wishes using this guide. The first chapters describe the tools and materials. This is followed by an introduction explaining the properties of paper and how to handle the tools. Instructions for binding various types of books form the main part of the book. Each chapter builds on the previous one, allowing us to cover a wide range of bookbinding techniques by the end. We can now bind our own books, photo albums, brochures, notebooks, sketchbooks, journals, block books, drawing books, magazines, diaries, and scrapbooks, all with a custom cover.
