Nicely printed and sewn binding, softcovers. A useful reference work on basic bookbinding.
I know that there is a cd / pdf version of this publication; and, that I could print out individual pages. I have a copy; but, I like to hold a book in my hands. So, I've bought the printed version, as well. Both versions appear to have the same, or similar, images. I like both, the book is slightly newer and updated. I'm going to use it to practise some leather quarter bindings.
