5 out of 5 starsThe book has arrived, I picked it up yesterday and I have already gone through it from start to end. I rescued some paper from work and will start experimenting tonight. (I have saved all envelopes with beautiful data protection patterns and sheets from our many wall calendars for a while now). n nI love the book, not only for the great explanations, the encuragement to think outside the box and the many examples, but also because it is so beautiful. I think it will look better the more it is used. I will show it to my bookbinder teacher. I think she will love it. :) n nThanks! n nAgneta N

The book is very very nice, very well done and clear. I imagined a small book but it's big! And I love its "maquette" (I don't know the world in English), its style. Thank you too for the dedicace and for the lovely gift. nMerci Esther et peut-être à bientôt un jour à Paris :-) nCecile

I have always admired this book. Checked it out several times from my local library and now I am a happy owner of this book. If you are a serious bookbinder or simply like to book bind for fun like me, add this one to your collection and follow the easy steps for a nice artistic book collection.
