Benjamin D. Rinehart, Creating Books & Boxes
A great beginner's guide to making books and boxes by instructor Benjamin Rinehart. Each book is signed by Ben!
| Library Journal Review in the February 15th Issue: "This is a book of basic bookbinding and box-making techniques by academic artist and instructor Rinehart. Step-by-step projects include some of the most popular types of books and boxes made by hobbyists. The detailed instructions include line drawings, and both a brief section on surface decoration and a gallery of works by other artists are included. Although there are other specialized books on this topic with more extensive projects, this is a good basic selection for public libraries." - Candy (2007) |
