Save your money! - By: S. Bonfanti, 05 Jul 2008
If you want to learn about bookbinding so that you can make books yourself, don't buy this book. Buy one by Shereen LaPlantz or Alisa Golden. This book is a strange mixture of techniques, projects & ideas, with none explained clearly enough for a beginner nor inspirational enough for someone who knows what they are doing. It has some of the dullest examples I've seenin a while. And surely they could have run to having the text checked over by a native English speaker? They constantly confuse depth & width. If you are making a box, it will have depth, width & length. If you refer only to length & depth, you will get the reader horribly confused!
There are much better books out there.
