Review:
[Fine Bookbinding] is a seminal work by a master craftswoman, distilled from a lifetimes teaching; it is a meticulous work of the utmost integrity and a lesson in what craftsmanship truly involves. There is detail and forethought in every step taken. --Sylvie Gokulsing, The Scribe
a landmark publication written with authority --Graham Stevens, Designer Bookbinders Newsletter
For those working alone and without the advantage of a tutor to hand this book will be all but indispensable. I am determined to clear my workspace to make room for it. --Alan Isaac, The Society of Bookbinders Newsletter
