Fine Bookbinding by Jen Lindsay	September 23, 2024
Reviewer: a. Dee from Wales

I have not yet assessed the books content. However, the quality of the binding is abysmal, the stitch tension has caused elongation of the stitching holes. This has allowed excess glue to squeeze through, sticking the pages together.The book does not maintain its shape and suffers from self closing syndrome, i. e. it will not stay open.

Fine Bookbinding - A Technical Guide	July 4, 2016
Reviewer: Arthur Green from Wallingford, OXFORDSHIRE United Kingdom

An excellent contemporary guide with superb attention to detail. Well structured and with a useful sequence of operations at the beginning. The photography could have been a little clearer however.
