The dream book of every book lover / self-publisher!

Un ouvrage beau et pratique pour la fabrication industrielle.

This book is a very enjoyable and informative read. If you want to know about the book-making process (after the writing/arting is done), this is definitely the book to go to. This is one of the coolest books I have ever read.

Though the ISBN I typed in (9781616896577) lead to this page, the title on the actual book is "Bookbinding: A Comprehensive Guide to Folding, Sewing & Binding"

I will say that the design elements of this book (bright red, bright white, black, and polka dots) sometimes hurts the eyes. Definitely reading that should be done over a long period of time rather than binged. Save your eyes!!

Quite succinct yet also detailed. Visually very well presented, seemed easy to follow.
