Illustrated Bookmaking
Ellen Knudson, 2021.
Illustrated Bookmaking is a captivating and instructive collection of diagrams and book structures. The diagrams included in this publication are intended to supplement in-person (or online) bookmaking instruction and practice. The author developed these drawings for her own educational and instructional purposes over years of teaching her Book Arts class at the University of Florida and other institutions. Creating diagrams helped her understand the structures better, and now you can benefit from them as well!
