Re: [Digital BW] Book Making 101

Robert,

There are a number of ways you could approach making a digital book. In the
past, I have used Lumijet dual-sided matte and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag duo to
print my books. Both of these paper have certain defects for bookmaking,
i.e. scuffing, scratching, & burnishing. I have recently been testing the
Innova ³book art² papers, which will be hitting the US in the middle of the
August. They will be releasing a double-sided soft texture and smooth cotton
labeled as ³book art² paper because the grain direction will be labeled.

I then hand bind the books through traditional means into a case-binding
³hardcover².  There are many places that are offering workshops in book arts
including the binding process. If you tell me what region of the country you
are in I can pass a few locations onto you, I personally offer workshops as
well. There are also many great books on case-binding available.
