You must have the most wonderful set of books now that you made at that workshop - I'm trying not to be envious. I've just remembered, I'm 2 months behind with my blog (been away) but when I last posted I mentioned you and Dan's books.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914350639398715648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-65919324844073475722008-06-08T15:02:00.000-04:002008-06-08T15:02:00.000-04:00Miss 376, thank for your kind comments.

Sigh.<BR/><BR/>MadSilence, thanks, and good to hear from you.<BR/><BR/>Quin, I'm glad you've enjoyed the blog. As to suggestions for books, I suppose it all depends on the types of books you want to make. For sewn bindings, it's hard to top Keith Smith's books, although the consensus seems to be that they're a bit difficult to work through. For a mix of bindings, I've enjoyed the books by Alissa Golden (there are 4) Ben Rinehart and Gabrielle Fox. And the Penland Book of Handmade Books is also quite wonderful. Good luck!Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04838656854709586779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-71830910660083325572008-06-07T14:45:00.000-04:002008-06-07T14:45:00.000-04:00hey, i really enjoy reading your blog, especially ...hey, i really enjoy reading your blog, especially the recent posts with the book pictures. i'm curious if you have any book-making book recommendations. i have used only one book extensively: Cover to Cover by Shereen LaPlantz. however, in the past year i feel like my skills have plateaued and i want to learn some of the techniques you have posted about here. do you have any good, self-guided book recommendations?<BR/><BR/>thanks so much,<BR/>quinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307989857819252647.post-80105840524370540162008-06-07T09:44:00.000-04:002008-06-07T09:44:00.000-04:00I've enjoyed the Book-a-Day series immensely.
