Absolute beginners can be successful from the first page with an instant book-all that is needed is a sheet of paper. Besides paper, most projects call for the same three materials: awls, curved needles, and waxed thread. The most complicated one involves Coptic binding, which might take a couple of tries to get right but, even so, is doable. A resource list is included, as well as a bibliography of titles the author recommends. It is easy to see that bookmaking could become addictive. Crafty teens as well as those who create their own zines will want to take a look.\"\n\u003cbr\u003e--\n\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal, \u003c\/i\u003eCharlotte Bradshaw, San Mateo County Library, CA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrom zines you can fold in a minute to luxurious leather journals and sumptuous sketchbooks, \n\u003ci\u003eHow to Make Books\u003c\/i\u003e will walk you through the easy basics of bookmaking.
