Craft Bookbinding introduces some of the numerous binding styles that can be achieved with little or no experience, from simple structures that can be made with folded paper to the classic case binding. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, clear instructions describe the bindings, which can be adapted to bind books that are uniquely yours.

• Guide to adapting or making tools, plus specialist equipment
• Techniques for handling paper and glue are explained in detail, along with a range of different methods of sewing and a variety of cases to be used as covers
• Ideas for how the different binding styles can be lettered
• Emphasis on best practice so the skills can be developed and used as a foundation for fine binding
