Customer Reviews

Be warned
This book gives examples of the some very unconventional and innovative projects and is very inspirational but be warned.... 'More Making Books by Hand' is not an extension or supplement to this book, but an exact copy published by another publisher and should not be ordered in addition to this book.
Please do not order both books. You will be very disappointed
