"This handy manual offers beginners and advanced artists alike a comprehensive overview of the tools, principles, and techniques used in hand bookbinding. Step-by-step instructions, photographs, and illustrations lead aspiring bookbinders through six projects." - Fine Books Collections

"I would recommend it for high school students and adults. While some of the easier pamphlet style books could be created by younger students with supervision, I truly believe those aged 14 and up would most enjoy the process. It would be a wonderful resource for a high school art class, and could allow the students to make their own sketch books for their other artistic endeavors."
