Make Books for Fun, Fame & Profit
Fold a one-minute zine. Stitch a luscious leather journal. Choose luxurious papers for a sumptuous sketchbook. Or make a book with recycled envelopes and brown paper bags. Are you a writer? A scrapbook maker? A political activist? A postcard collector? Esther K Smith helps you find your inner bookbinder. Try time-tested techniques with quirky, artful illustrations and personable instructions.
