Review "This handy manual offers beginners and advanced artists alike a comprehensive overview of the tools, principles, and techniques used in hand bookbinding. Step-by-step instructions, photographs, and illustrations lead aspiring bookbinders through six projects." - Fine Books Collections "I would recommend it for high school students and adults. While some of the easier pamphlet style books could be created by younger students with supervision, I truly believe those aged 14 and up would most enjoy the process. It would be a wonderful resource for a high school art class, and could allow the students to make their own sketch books for their other artistic endeavors." - Old Schoolhouse Magazine About the Author Established in 2012, the London Centre for Book Arts provides education programs and access to resources for artists, designers, and makers. Their mission is to foster and promote the book arts and artist-led publishing through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skills exchange, and by providing a space for hands-on experience.
