On My Bookshelf


On several occasions, I hope to share with you some of the books that I have on my bookshelf. The books will be chosen at random. This week's book is Book Art Studio Handbook by Stacie Dolin and Amy Lapidow.

The book delves into various bookbinding techniques and structures. The projects include: Albums, Books, Enclosures, and Advanced Projects. While there are several interesting projects most of them seem to be more amenable to people who have some bookbinding experience. This book has many step-by-step instructions and lots of good photographs to illustrate the steps for each project.

Unfortunately, the projects use advanced techniques that aren't fully realized for the inexperienced bookbinder.

Full disclosure: Neither Amazon.com nor the authors have provided any compensation for this review. The book was purchased online without a personal perusal before purchase.
