In this introduction to the techniques of bookbinding, Franz Zeier guides readers step-by-step through projects for making a variety of boxes, portfolios, book covers, photograph albums, mats, and sewn and adhesive-bound books.
The projects require no previous experience or special equipment. They are sequenced to teach fundamental skills, such as proper handling of tools and use of adhesives, and they deliver technical information in an accessible way, without jargon. Hundreds of clear yet detailed drawings, twenty-eight pages in color, support the text.
The book stresses basic design principles and aesthetic considerations, such as proportion, choice of materials, and color. It offers a contemporary view of bookbinding as a craft, a hobby, an educational pursuit, or all three, highlighting presentation and packaging techniques that should be in the repertoire of every designer. The book`s combination of practical information and creative inspiration will appeal to designers, artists, photographers, and craftspeople at all levels.
