I’ve always been interested in learning how to bind a book. I saw my first handmade book in a craft store in Baltimore. It had a simple five-stitch bind, a photocopied cover, and inside was an ancient Indian folk legend. I loved it!  Now, I look for beautiful handcrafted books wherever I go.

Since that day, I’ve  tried quite a few of the easier bookbinding methods myself -  pretty much everything but traditional binding. 

I’ve made stitched books, accordion books,  one page folded books (which I will eventually post a tutorial for),  stapled books, and mini books. I’ve even done quite a bit of book repair, including gluing pages to spines and repairing/replacing  covers.
