This must-have book for newcomers to the popular art of
bookmaking teaches all the basics and features easy and interesting
projects that allow self-expression and experimentation. More
experienced bookmakers and paper enthusiasts will also note that it
offers a wealth of practical tips and techniques in one handy
resource.
All the basic bookmaking techniques include lots of specialized
tips. Simple book structures, miniature books, and a wide variety
of projects that highlight themes such as travel, music, even
wearable books -- a book necklace and earrings -- provide creative
variations on traditional ideas.
The authors share innovative, unique, and previously unpublished
binding structures that incorporate scrolls, flaps, folders, and
more. In addition, some book projects are made from unusual
materials or found objects, such as a book out of a ukulele, a real
accordion book, a book diorama in a cigar box, and other
experimental creations.
