Making Books That Fly, Fold, Wrap, Hide, Pop Up,… by Gwen Diehn

Has some interesting projects and is well laid out. Irritating in that she tells some great stories about historical bindings, but provides no information about her sources.

Journal Your Way: Designing & Using Handmade Books by Gwen Diehn

I didn't realize until I started getting major déjà vu that this book is an updated version of Diehn's Real Life Journals, which I've already read, so I'll repost my review of that book. Another good journal book from Gwen Diehn. I really appreciated the way it balances practical step-by-step instructions with inspirational examples. It covers a wide range of journal content topics and binding/cover methods, and infuses personalization on every page.
