I love it so much that I read it completely through, cover-to-cover twice, devouring how to do some of the new techniques I saw!! Wow! Golden is an excellent conversationalist. How do I know this? No, I haven't met her face-to-face, but......... she has a gifted way of writing like she's talking to you alone. Engaging you. I can barely hear her voice speak, but it's right there! She speaks of that which she knows. And she makes every move and nuance needed to make each lovely binding. She gives implicit instructions. Before her my best instructions have been some very destructive looking bindings! After her, I've learned to slow down a lot, take my time with them, and you know what? I've pretty much mastered the one I most wanted to make right. It's a basic binding, and it looks pretty good! I've gone on and made 4 book bindings, and they all look really nice! I'm so happy with how they've turned out. Thanks to Alisa Golden's instructions!. Great for those who are self taught and wanting to try something new, or just review something old! I'm rearing to go now! You can purchase the book on Amazon. It currently sells on Prime for $18.86, and well worth every penny! This book makes me want to break out supplies and get bookbinding. I have some basic books on the topic but this one just makes me think about doing it and getting stuck in. I found it inspirational and it made me want to do some more in this field. Books for use, books for memories and books as art all feature with examples from other book people. The illustrations are clear and the examples are inspiration. Going on my shopping list. As a nearly lifelong journal-er I have always appreciated papers and handmade books for both written and art journaling, but I can't say that I was ever tempted to make a book myself - before I saw this book that is! There are a lot books that claim to be 'complete' or 'compendiums' of techniques. To my way of thinking there are few books that actually live up to those merits. "Making Handmade Books" is one of those few titles that does not claim to be complete, replete or a compendium but succeeds in being all of that and more. No kidding! If you have ever been tempted ( or are even like me and didn't think that you were interested) to learn what making a handmade book would entail - this is the book to read. Ms. Golden once again manages to fill the pages of this book with so much, very complete, information that if you could only have one book about making books - this would be the one to choose. Once again the contents as written by Ms. Golden on her website tell the story of how much is included in this book far better than I could write. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I checked this book out from the library, but this might be the one that I add to my reference library. ( )
