"I have studied the first 55 pages carefully. I have no hesitation in saying that it is the best,
clearest, and most well-written account for people of my background
that I have yet come across – and that by a long, long way. Writing
explanations of such intricate activities is not easy
and your book is
a masterpiece of lucid writing."
Edward Fiddy, Oxford |

The photographs are carefully matched to the written instructions. Text and photographs
appear side by side on screen and each page can be printed separately
or as part of a unit.
This ancient and wonderful craft is in danger of disappearing through
lack of local classes and the opportunity to learn. Angela Sutton has
put together a set of basic instructions for complete beginners, with the emphasis on how to use the tools, equipment and materials.
"I have enjoyed the case binding section
which is very thorough, comprehensive
and the photos are really good ...
I was intrigued by your triple method
of handling single sheets
which is quick and easy to do."
June McNicol, Australia

"Your MARVELLOUS book has arrived. I am a visual learner and this is just what I needed.
I have done a wee beginners' course at an adult community class which had a good teacher
but I suffer from anxiety and found the environment turned my brain to clag.
The book fills in the bits I found hard to assimilate."
Melanie Anne Todd, New Zealand
