I love making books. Mostly blank books that I use for keeping notes, but sometimes little volumes for friends.
Having lots of books on bookbinding, they are separated by type, old-fashioned bookbinding that uses signatures bound together to create handmade hard cover volumes, and art and craft books that use a variety of binding methods like stab binding and accordion books.

I liked the book but I thought I'd get more out of it. I picked it up because of the author. I've admired Zamrlza's work for a while now and thought I'd see more binding methods in the book, but those featured here are mostly limited to variations of the Japanese four-hold binding and other stab bindings (this is indicated in the book blurb but I didn't see past the name).

At Home With Handmade Books by Erin Zamnrzla

This book contains many different original styles of books to make. The reader can also take these ideas the author has created and come up with some of their own imaginative projects to make. The possibilities are limitless.

Zamrzla presents clever and unique ways to create unusual books and booklets from common household and office items ranging from change envelopes through ziplock bags. The directions are often complex but are extremely clear, and adults should have little trouble following the instructions correctly. Many of the projects would be appropriate for children but will require close adult supervision and guidance for safety’s sake. The construction techniques Zamrzla explains lend themselves to expans...more
I've read through the projects and I'm excited to try out several of them! Will update this review when I've done a little hands-on work with this book...
Well done and beautifully designed...I don't care for japanese stab binding, but there are some great ideas in this book.
Had some very unque project ideas. Might buy it. Going to make at least 2 of the projects, so that says something.
This book makes me want to spend all summer making books. Maybe I will! I really only skimmed it though.
