Starting with sheets of paper and carrying right through to the final lettering and decoration, there are step-by-step instructions on how to carry out the various processes. There are sections on rebinding sewn and unsewn books, binding pamphlets, repairing torn pages and cloth covers, and simple leather binding. There are suggestions for the use of unusual materials and decorations, and the descriptions of standard tools and equipment include substitutes and improvisations to help avoid expense.
