*by C***A on 4 January 2015*

This book is a quality volume, itself beautifully bound. The first 125 pages are taken up by examples of hand made books with details of the materials used to create different constructions and bindings, by artists from around the world. The final 54 pages cover bookmaking practice i.e. Tools and materials, followed by clear diagrams and instructions on how to create some of the constructions and bindings. I had hoped for more emphasis on the bookmaking practise. Nevertheless a very informative volume.
