Review: Che meraviglia questo libro. Una vera e propria guida passo a passo
Review: As a keen paper lover and bookbinding newbie, Chanel Ly's handbook is simply the best book I've come across. Its clear instructions and numerous photographs have helped me progress in my bookbinding learning and encouraged me to move onward. Possibly the only thing to make it "better" would be to have it hand-bound by Miss Ly herself, but that is not its purpose. And one can easily purchase her handmade works of art online and view her many beautifully done videos. Projects are described in detail, step-by-step, assuming no previous depth of knowledge. Softcover and hardcover books, flat-back, round-back books and case bindings, well-known and loved stitches are all described in easily understood instructions. There is also a good section about designing your own book which includes up cycling a paperback book, how to make closures, adding pockets to books, and how to make your own book press. In addition to the usual sections on tools and papers, it covers paper types and sizes, spine swell, gluing techniques, and troubleshooting common errors. The resources and references section includes full URLs for avid readers.
