I have been learning how to book bind out of necessity rather than wanting of a new hobby. For a holiday gift, I filled a moleskin notebook full of art, poetry and love notes for my wife over the course of a year. I didnt realize how shitty these note books were so by November of this year, It was busting at the spine and I was having to hold it shut with one of my wood working clamps.
So I bought the simple guide to book binding by unbind books and went to work. now it opens and looks so much better! It's definitely not perfect but I think that's part of the charm :3
