This instructional book covers 6 headbands: the original Coptic headband, and 5 variations that I found in early Summer 2009. This listing is for the e-book containing the 3rd supplemented and revised edition from 2015. The images added to this listing show examples of different headbands, and a screenshot of thumbnails, giving you an idea of how the book looks like.
The book contains step by step instructions, accompanied by plenty of photos. The Coptic binding itself is not explained, only the modifications that you'll have to do for the attachment of the headbands are covered. It is assumed that you know how to Coptic bind a book with hard covers.
Materials and tools that you need for a book with such an endband are: A hole punch or awl, paper for the signatures of your book, covers for your book, bookbinding thread, and two (for some just one) straight bookbinding needles.
As mentioned above, this listing is for the e-book edition, specifically version 3.2. You will download here on Etsy four pdf files, named part 1 to part 4. Each of them contains a couple of chapters and are fully functional pdf files. You can print the book from there, or look at them at the screen as you wish. You might also want to combine them into one file to have the whole book in one piece. If you do not know how to do it, you can find instructions on how to do that on Wikihow (http://www.wikihow.com/Merge-PDF-Files)
The contents:

The core of this book consists of 6 chapters, one for each of the featured headbands, plus a foreword, a chapter on general preparations, a chapter explaining how to do the whole construction mirror symmetric (interesting for left handed persons), and a troubleshooting chapter at the end, finished off by a gallery of examples.
