It's a bit hard for a visual learner to judge this book from a galley with no photographs, but: there are seven types of books, with detailed instructions on how to achieve them. Not something I'll be pursuing anytime soon, but something I've always wanted to know more about. The usual disclaimer: I received this book via Netgalley for review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
This innovative approach to bookbinding demonstrates an array of creative techniques that elevate handmade books into extraordinary works of art. Easy-to-follow, well-illustrated directions for more than 25 patterns explain how to make seven different kinds of books with pop-up panels and pages that "explode" from the spine as well as slipcases, tassels, and other distinctive features. The guide begins with instructions for a simple accordion-fold book. Successive projects build on methods readers have already mastered and introduce new skills, including the pamphlet stitch, ideal for photo albums and scrapbooks; tacket binding, the versatile stitch of medieval Europe; and the Coptic stitch, employed by Christians of ancient Egypt. A full-color photo gallery, with contributions from more than 60 artists, offers further inspiration for enhancing and personalizing projects by using alphabets, bestiaries, botanical illustrations, and other designs. The author includes a glossary of terms as well as information on materials and tools. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The instructions were a little vague/confusing at times and there weren't step-by-step photos included, which I (being very visual) am in great need of! There were a few non-detailed illustrations, though not for every step.
If you're just looking for inspiration for art books, this would be a good book to flip through. If you're looking for detailed instructions on making actual books, and especially bookbinding, this wouldn't be my first recommendation.
I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley. ( )
