Dependnmg where you live I may be able to point you in the direction of where you can get a workshop on basic simple bookbinding techniques. It's not something you can put in an e-mail but still not hard to learn. I'm on a books arts list so I can post a request there also if you wish.

I did bookbinding on my own in art school and took lesson later if you can get instruction it's better here's what someone on the book arts list I'm on posted:

"She might try contacting Charles Collings at his bindery.

Collings Bindery

410 North Larchmont Boulevard

Los Angeles, CA 90004

ยท 323-460-6333*

He does take in students and probably would be able to accommodate her for a modest fee.

Charles Schermerhorn

Lompoc, CA"

I also seem to recall a book arts organization in LA but I'll have to dig through material to find it.

Good luck in your venture! I am sure that your friend will appreciate your gift and efforts. A word to the wise though, lass.......Make sure you get permission to reproduce material from the individuals involved. Some may be under copyright protection. :blink:

Try this HGTV Craft show link for a simple sewn book binding.

Also kits and acid free supplies can be found in artist supply and rubber stamp stores.

Also don't forget the 'ole library. A mountain of books on the subject await yer perusal...

The library often delivers what the web cannot.
