Comments: I'm something of a shade tree mechanic when it comes to doing my own book repairs. I've take a few short courses in bookbinding and papermaking and will profess that I love book crafts, so I'm always looking for guides that demonstrate the finer points. This is one of the better ones I've found on simple book binding and box building. It provides a guide to building a wide range of projects and is richly illustrated with hand drawn diagrams showing each technique. It's a book well worth having in your kit if you enjoy the challenges of glue management.
