Now in its fifth edition, Book Book is a portable, uncomplicated guide to learning how to bind books. Written by Myungah Hyon and illustrated by Chang Yuchen, the diagrammatic instruction book walks readers through the basics of books, from grain direction and imposition to folding and cutting paper, as well as myriad binding styles. Alongside the book, 'Book Book' also includes a book-board hole-punching cradle. All the pieces are housed in a plastic drawstring bag.
The types of bindings covered include perfect bound books, accordion books, pamphlet stitch, long stitch binding, flat-back casebound books and several stab bindings (Japanese four-hole, noble binding, tortoise-shell binding, hemp-leaf binding).
