adult nonfiction; craft. Detailed instructions for various bindings and inspiration for creative re-use. ( )

I love the idea of upcycling and repurposing materials. That said, this is not what I was looking for, nor does it share my aesthetic taste. This book does a good job of introducing book-binding techniques and perhaps inspiring book-like art. For those looking for a guide to make practical handmade books, this is not it. ( )

The instructions were difficult to follow - they needed more photos or illustrations to make them clear. It was a nice bit of inspiration for hobby book binding. ( )

Pretty. Complicated. Pretty complicated and lovely to look at. But not going to make any of these suckers any time soon.
