Bookbinding Basics, Paola Rosati

 

Bookbinding Basics, Paola Rosati, Sterling Publishing

I have no idea where I picked up this book, most likely from a garage sale. I am always interested in learning new things, and since I did a little bit of book binding in college, this book piqued my interest. The projects in this book are a little beyond what I did in my one printmaking/bookbinding class, but I found it interesting and inspiring. This book talks about the history of bookbinding, gives an explanation of supplies, and takes you through the techniques of creating a couple different kinds of books. 

I plan to keep this one in my collection. Hopefully someday I can sit down with it and attempt to make a book or two. The photographs are great, taking you through every step, but honestly, I think it would be a good idea to find a YouTube video to supplement it, just to see each step in action.
