Best one so far!!

I am starting out bookbinding as new hobby....bought several used books about book binding here....this one is the one I needed!! Very detailed explanations, short but detailed!! Very good pictures/drawings!! Great and easy erad, the way it is explained works well for me! Lots of info on other bookbinding styles...again, short but to the point...unfortunately no coverage about leather as cover material...but that would fill another book. All in all a near perfect book for a bloody beginner, written in very serious manner even semi pros could recharge their basics!! Like it a lot!!,

A detailed handbook for amateur and professional bookbinder and teachers. Excellent. Probably not the best book for the first time amateur.
