Read this while taking classes from Mr Cockerell. He was an inspirational teacher and it was fascinating to see the work that was done in his workshop.
Never forgot his advice on marbling paper!

I didn't love this book, even though I'm certainly going to keep it (I actually handbound my copy) and keep it as a bookbinding reference.

[Hayley]

I think that this book would be best used as a reference where one might read individual chapters if you are working on a certain technique. That being said, it has wonderfully descriptive and easy to understand chapter “how tos” on vellum binding and edge gilding.
