kind of repetitious and new-agey submitted by camelsamba on August 26, 2021, 10:08am This book presents basic bookbinding tools and techniques, and then encourages the reader to use them to make many books. In my opinion, however, the various projects came across as too similar and repetitive. Lots of leather covers. Also, the descriptions were kind of "new-agey", which turned me off (I would have been okay if one section was like that, but it was too much for this reader). The main thing I found inspirational was the 3 pages on dyeing papers with natural products.
