Diverse binding forms submitted by howarde on June 29, 2018, 3:04pm There are lots of books about making "art books" out there, but I am interested in making more traditional book forms. When I saw the cover of this book, I gave it a pass because I thought it would not have much detailed information about making practical books. However, I later picked it up after flipping through it. It does contain many examples of art forms, but is full of practical step by step instructions to create both traditional and non-traditional book forms.

Practical books submitted by teri on August 4, 2020, 1:06am From the simply sewn Moleskine-type book, to more complex forms - Alisa Golden's book is good for both the beginning and the more advanced student. Good instructions and photos - like many things published by Lark Crafts.
