Bookbinding

During the Spring 2018 semester, I took a class on book repair in which I learned how to create and bind books, and how to do some basic book repairs.

Read some of my projects from the class below.

• Book Repair Manual
• Book Repair Budget
• Rebacking Instructions

Bookbinding Instructions

I created these instructions for myself as I turned what I learned into a DIY hobby at home. Most of the supplies I purchased are not archival grade, but are great for making books for myself and friends!

A few helpful tutorials I found from other booklovers:

• Kettle Stitch (for sewing signatures together)
• Full Cloth Case
• Quarter Cloth Case
• Double Fan Adhesive Binding
