Pages presents 40 step-by-step bookmaking projects built upon the classic book forms: the scroll, the folded book, the Japanese-style bound book, and the album. Full-page color photographs of each project are included, as well as a gallery of examples from international artists working in the book arts. Techniques covered include hand-made papermaking, surface embellishing, embossing, stamping, stenciling, spraying, sewing, marbling, cutting, and collage. Also included are templates for decorative fill-in-the-blank pages to use in your own books.
The title is broken into seven parts—covering bookmaking basics, paper and tools, book forms, design potentials, enhancement methods, an artist showcase, and preservation. Also included is an index, bibliography, and suggested resources.
