Learn how to create a range of beautiful and unique hand-bound books and accessories.

In this practical guide, experienced bookbinder Bari Zaki leads you step-by-step through over 20 stunning projects from albums and journals to stationery and folders. Starting with an overview of the basic bookbinding tools, discover the best materials for each project and get advice on binding, glueing, folding and trimming, as well as where to buy the gorgeous papers used throughout the book.

Create eye-catching details such as a window spine on the buttonhole-stitch bound book, a front cover recessed window with a collage detail, and exposed spines with intricate Coptic-stitch binding. Collate an engaging mix of envelope pages to create your own collector's album, or preserve your memories in hidden cover-pockets on a drop-spine accordion book. You'll find more complex traditional case-bound and screw-post spine books are thoroughly and clearly explained, along with detailed stitching instructions for each book (including working with multiple needles).

Whether you are a bookbinding novice or an experienced binder, this is an essential guide to start learning or perfecting your skills.
