If you want to learn about bookbinding so that you can make books yourself, don't buy this book. Buy one by Shereen LaPlantz or Alisa Golden. This book is a strange mixture of techniques, projects and ideas, with none explained clearly enough for a beginner nor inspirational enough for someone who knows what they are doing. It has some of the dullest examples I've seen in a while. And surely they could have run to having the text checked over by a native English speaker? They constantly confuse depth and width. If you are making a box, it will have depth, width and length. If you refer only to length and depth, you will get the reader horribly confused!
There are much better books out there.
