From the scissors that snip the pages, to the glues, stitches, and ties that bind them, get all the techniques for making beautiful handmade books. Cut and fold pages in a simple accordion, or hide a second book inside. Create pop-ups, fan, and slot and tab books; elaborate compound structures with pockets; and multiple signatures in a thick, sewn volume. Construct handscrolls, hanging books, soft and hardcovers, even portfolios and boxes. Hundreds of illustrations, diagrams, and striking photos will guide and inspire you. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
