 Great service! October 24, 2008
I love when something arrives exactly as described. Only thing better is when it arrives in better shape than described, like this book. Thank you for that and the fast service.
Excellent resource for book artists September 15, 2008

I enjoy journaling on blank pages and subsequently binding them into journals. Keith Smith's book on non-adhesive binding is an excellent resource for learning non-conventional binding and book structures.
I enjoyed the book so much, I eventually made mock-ups of nearly every project in this book AND went on to worth through several other of Smith's books.
Smith provides many basic/general techniques in the front of the book followed by specific "recipes." He provides both creative suggestions for content and technical information on structure and assembly. Smith also provides sample photographs of each binding.
One minor criticism: many of the projects suggest using very heavyweight paper--almost watercolor paper--instead of textweight or lightweight. I had to tweak the instructions for binding the lightweight paper I use for journaling.
 Not quite what I wanted, but very good nonetheless July 21, 2008
I was actually looking for Volume 3 of this series, however, the interesting bindings within this volume have been very helpful in making books of my own.
Extremely detailed, with diagrams of nearly everything (including tying knots) and easy to understand instructions made for a relatively easy book sewing.
I'd suggest it to any bookbinder.

If you are interested in Coptic-style bindings, this is the book for you. Keith has a lot of useful information, many different variations on the sewing, and easy to follow (for me) diagrams. He also lets you know why he chooses to do things the way he does, leaving you free to do it differently if you choose.
Non-Adhesive Binding Vol. 1 February 20, 2007

Very thorough guide to aspects of constructing books of simplicity and beauty. Very elaborate bindings are also presented. Books are discussed as a means of presentation to suit the needs of the subject matter. In this age of scrapbooking and bookmaking as a vehicle for show and personal function, this seems a very useful book. Copies of this book held in libraries are often checked out for extended periods and unavailable. The book is well written, smyth sewn, and laid out in a logical fashion. Contains a glossary of terms.
