Customer Reviews

Really fast and really deep!

You hold on to your horses, because this book gives you no slack...the author expects you to be saddled already! But: Here is the beauty, you get real decent B&W pictures, nice drawings and a ton of old school information on bookbinding...again, you better know a bit basics of this genre or you will strugle a bit to follow. It is assumed that you know your tools, able to build your own metal press and know what a paper plough us for. I am a bloody beginner in book binding...BUT, I read a few beginners book before, so lots of the terms here where already known. All in all a wonderful book for people being more serious to start bookbinding....not for little weekend hobby book binders!! This book is pretty serious stuff about books and its bindings.
