Looks like I'm going to be working a lot this summer which means less time to spend on bookbinding unfortunately. I have a few projects planned that are not book repair and I hope to get the chance to start them before the end of June. I'd like to keep in the habit of posting on the blog. Most blogs tend to die off after a year.
Here is a list of some of the books I have bought, or have been given in the last eight months since starting bookbinding. If you only purchase a few then I recommend "Introducing Bookbinding" by Ivor Robinson and "Manual of Bookbinding" by Arthur W. Johnson. There are two versions of each book, either will be sufficient to learn from. Some of the books are more artistic then practical so make sure you check the description before purchasing the books.
If you know of any others then please post a comment! I'd love to expand my little library.
