Bookbinding

Bookbinding is the craft of putting pages together to make a book. It includes folding, stitching and covering the pages with a cover made of paper, card or leather. Bookbinders can make simple notebooks or elaborate hand-bound books.

Some bookbinding techniques have been used for more than 1,000 years, and handmade books can last for centuries. Making your own notebook is a good way to learn the basic steps.
