The Essential Guide to Making Handmade Books by Gabrielle Fox
Handmade books are unique, personal, sensuous and permanent. This book teaches readers how to make their own books by hand. Through 11 projects with hands-on instruction, Fox teaches crafters how to use ordinary and decorative papers, recycled material and other cool stuff to indulge in their self-expressive creativity. The projects start at the beginning level and progress to more difficult bindings and formats and include complete step-by-step instruction, a materials list and ideas for uses and variations. Readers will learn how to bind their own books using new and unusual materials, how to make unique covers and formats, and how to personalize their books. Tips for personalizing their books along with a bit of the history, culture and the lore of book and paper making are also included.
Gabrielle Fox is a bookmaker and bookbinder. Trained in England, she has her own bookbinding studio and teaches classes at the Cincinnati Art Academy
