Summary: A Must Have For Sure!!
Review: I just received this the other day and all I can say is WOW!!!
I also own Cover to Cover, but I like this one just as much or better. The samples are just to die for and are very inspiring, and this book has different types of stitches and other books .
If you own Cover to Cover, you need this one too!

Summary: Terrific LaPlantz, poor editing
Review: This book is a must have for anyone who enjoys creating handmade books. It has excellent instructions for creating books with multiple folds and intricate bindings. The diagrams are helpful in the construction of the projects. Also, the gallery pictures of books are a great inspiration. This book was worth the wait after Shereen's Cover to Cover.

Summary: Terrific LaPlantz, poor editing
Review: This is a must-have for anyone who loves bookbindinding and/or is a fan of Shereen LaPlantz' terrific work. There are some excellent structures and lots of great information. It's too bad that such a terrific book had to be marred by poor editing, but it is still very much worth owning. It is extremely relevant to this review to note that corrections to the book are available at http://www.laplantz.com. The book and website taken together deserve FIVE stars.
