Description

Download, unzip, and double click the file labeled "index.htm" to view the tutorial!

Quick note: petty much everything in this tutorial uses technical terms, since I am not and probably never will be a professional book-binder and don't know the real terms for most things myself.

This tutorial includes:
- a tool list
- what to plan for
- advice for choosing materials
- all about soft covers (pros, cons, how to make them)
- all about hard covers (pros, cons, how to make them)
- FIVE binding methods
- and even more!

I hope you find this helpful :) This file will be continually updated as I get better/new photos to add, or learn better ways to do things.

v. 1.0
