With this book, you can indeed, learn to bind like a pro.
While it would be tempting to wax philosophical about the yester years when books were possessed of beautiful hand made bindings with marbled paper or edges and all the of bells and whistles of a rounded binding, corded and crafted to perfection, and left with beauty and aesthetics of great and wonderful harmony, as our first perception of a book - surely we all remember the feel and smell of a well bound book, and the emotional sense that the book and its binding itself were somehow part of a beautiful and perfect world, something to be honored and cherished for the delight of touching or owning something of beauty and harmony itself.
The pull of such beauty and harmony that a book binding of excellence affords is almost universal.
Perhaps there is no greater, more simple, or more profound indication of civilization and the elevation of the human spirit, than that we take delight in wrapping our stories, myths, explorations, and knowledge - as contained in books, its elegant and beautiful wrappers called bindings.
Take a moment to celebrate the human spirit, our mutual quest for beauty and perfection - humanities universal delight in order and elegance, and get and read this book, learn the craft, or simply be delighted with seeing the methods explained and illustrated. Either way, this book is a delight if you love books and bookbinding and want to understand the practical methods of making such evolutions.
Delight and Enjoy, Learn -
