DIY Bookbinding

For all the book lovers among us (isn't that all of us?) who have ever desired to make their own books--literally--or wondered about how books are crafted, see this wiki: DIY Bookbinding - Home of an expanded version of an art... This is a reference just for fun. You know my negative position on using information in wikis as reliable resources for publication. However, the author of this website has some great creds:

Wiki Books at Writers EdgeBrian Sawyer is lead editor for O'Reilly Media's Hacks series. When he's not under the hood of a paid project or working pro bono for his wife, he can often be found fiddling with books in other some capacity, either hand binding, experimenting with layout, reviewing for his personal blog, or just plain reading to his son.

This is a wonderful idea to share, isn't it? I bookbind all the time. In fact, I design handmade journals. There are so many ways to bookbind whether you redesign or refurbish an old book or just design your own with cardstock, paper, hemp twine, and even flake board. Thanks for the link.

Beachwriter, this is fascinating. Perhaps you would share images of some of your work? Describe how you make books? If you're willing, please get in touch with me by email. Thanks for dropping by!
