My First Books
Have you ever done any bookbinding? There are so many wonderfully books out there which have been bound by hand. It always intrigued me how the spine, the binding is being doen and although I have quite a few books about the subject, it always seemd to be a bit daunting ... and that's why my experience with binding some pages together was normally exhausted with punching some holes and 'bind' them together with some book rings, ribbons or else. I decided this had to change and went on a bookbinding workshop - and I loved it. It was brilliant. The tutor was excellent and the samples he showed us absolutely inspiring (if you are interested, you find him and his work here).
