Whether you're altering a pre-made book or creating your own, here you'll find both the instruction and the inspiration to get it done. In addition to learning mixed-media techniques-such as how to age paper, transfer images and make your own monoprints-you'll be given step-by-step instruction for numerous book structures including:

• Single-fold and bi-fold books
• Simple and extended accordions
• Perfect bindings
• Side-sewn books
• Single- and multiple-signature books
• Boxes

Add the art of the book and the book as art to your own artmaking repertoire today and start making your own meaningful artists' books.
