Each project in this book combines bookbinding with a specific craft such as quilting, jewelry making, or polymer clay, and offers three levels of expertise: basic, novice, and expert. Illustrated, step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to construct the covers, inside pages, and a unique binding technique, easy enough for a beginner to master. The novice version is for those who have no knowledge of the craft and want shortcuts, but love the look. The expert version is for those who have a great deal of knowledge and proficiency of a certain craft-the master art quilter, for example. No other craft book offers the possibilities and challenges that Adventures in Bookbinding does. Readers will return to it again and again to find inspiration and ideas.
