More Making Books by Hand: Exploring Miniature Books, Alternative Structures, and Found Objects by Peter ThomasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this book at the wrong point in my book-making career. I’m in my getting-my-feet-wet phase, just trying to figure out what goes into assembling an art book. So I found myself a bit overwhelmed by all the extremely specific instructions for creating various kinds of unusual books. Indeed, without the copious illustrations, I would have been completely lost. Thus I may find myself back here at some point in the future when I’m ready to break out the tools, stock up on supplies and actually start making. The examples from the authors’ work are also helpful, though I found their well-to-do white people’s aesthetic a bit inaccessible. Overall this does a solid job of providing what the title promises.
