Discover the joy of hand-binding with this inspiring guide from expert bookbinder Bari Zaki.

Whether you’re new to bookbinding or looking to refine your skills, you’ll find more than 20 stunning projects here to spark your creativity – from classic soft and hardcover books to elegant albums, journals and folders.

Learn how to create eye-catching details such as window spines, recessed collage covers, and intricate exposed bindings using the Coptic stitch. Explore a variety of formats including envelope-page albums and drop-spine accordion books with hidden pockets – perfect for preserving memories.

Each project is infused with Bari’s love of paper as she walks you through every step, sharing techniques for folding, glueing, and stitching, as well as her go-to tools and materials.

Even the more advanced case-bound and screw-post spine books feel achievable with Bari’s clear, step-by-step approach – making this guide a must-have for bookbinders of all levels.

Bari Zaki has always loved paper. In her early 20s, she took a series of bookbinding and boxmaking classes at Artists Book Works. After working on custom projects for 25 years, she finally opened Bari Zaki Studio in 2015, a bookbinding studio, shop and salon in Chicago, IL. www.barizaki.com
