Re: Book Binding, was Paper recommendation for a book project

2002-01-06 by culturalvisions

Just a quick note to say that I've used Brewer Cantelmo for small 
edition books and they do a great job at an inexpensive price.  I 
searched around and found they were the best for what I wanted.

I will say there are a lot of obstacles in making your own books.  
If you have the energy you could pick up a how-to book like Hand 
Bookbinding by Aldren Watson on Dover.  That will give you a 
clear picture of how much craft is involved in the process.
