Review: I've only had a quick look so far but it is apparent that this book includes lots of how-to as well as a great variety of designs and styles. I particularly like the artist statements which draw me past the base technique and open my eyes to the possibilities of "books as art" beyond simply making a plain journal with a hand binding. Looking forward to learning this new craft!

Review: A great book full of visual ideas so from that point of view a fantastic book. I have made many artist books but did find some of the instructions a bit unclear and confusing. Can be purchased relatively cheaply so I thought it was worth it.
