I've Published a Bookbinding Textbook, Cooking the Books: A Concise Guide to Bookbinding
My students usually tell me that they have kept my bookbinding handouts, because they find them clear and concise. I have now compiled them, added more illustrations, and placed them in logical order in a new textbook. The book is spiral bound and inexpensive enough that you can take it into your studio and write your own notes and comments in it. It is meant to be a real workbook. It is available on demand from LULU for $15 plus shipping & handling. Go directly to their site, order one, and they will send it to you. http://www.lulu.com/content/4988946 You can see sample pages at LULU or here on my website under External Links: Pay on Demand Books http://web.me.com/nettles3/Pay_on_Demand_Books/Plontu_Handbokin%3A_An_Artists_Guide_to_the_Wildflowers_of_Iceland.html
