Interest in bookbinding and the related arts has exploded in the past decade, inspiring artists to explore the unlimited possibilities of the form. This title showcases a beautiful range from the intricacies of an exotic Ethiopian binding with a show-stopping open spine to others that resemble mysterious puzzle boxes. The sublimely talented contributors include Jeanne Germani who displays her own handmade papers, made from such varied materials as recycled denim, thistle and other plant matter, Chris Bivin whose codex-style volume features curious, tiny, found objects and Laura Wait presents a piece with handsome raised-cord binding connecting a pair of stained-cedar covers with abstract aluminum letterforms attached. This new and provocative on-the-page gallery, richly illustrated with hundreds of breathtaking photographs, will appeal to a large and discerning audience. |

This is an intersting book but it is really a bit overpriced it contains illustrations of 500 handmade books, and these books range from the awe inspiring and architectural to the barely there. It is a very intersting study but it is also a little superficial and leaves you wanting a little more insight.

Beautiful inspiring photos. This is not a 'How-to' book, but it does state the size, materials used, type of binding and artists name beneath the photo of each handmade book.
