Really good for teaching simple and funky book-making, especially children and teenagers. Excellent diagrams and good typography. (

The coolest thing to happen to paper is to become a book. I've been infected with paperlove, and I want to make books everywhere. My students think I'm crazy, but the instructions are so easy, that it's impossible to stop making little books. I am enjoying the learning experience, and I haven't had to travel to an expensive workshop. If you think you'd like to try to work with paper arts, then you should give this book a try. (
