DIY: Perfect Binding; for students, teachers and the small presses at heart

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Here’s a lecture about DIY perfect binding. This is great for class projects like workshop anthologies, theses (doesn’t it seem like the plural of thesis should be thesi? I mean, yeah, the i isn’t a u, but still… theses? Sounds like a Deliverance hillbilly motioning to the captive with a dull, questioning look on his face “We gunn’ get ta taste theses?”– eek!) literary journals, or even just those who want to organize their work for friends and family. The process only involves some small boards, clamps, glue, a paint brush and some waxed paper. Definitely not a commercial process, but definitely passable for small projects. The lecturer is informative and clearly knows a thing or two about the physical crafting of books.
