500 Handmade Books Volume 2 (500 Series) Paperback – September 3, 2013

Hello! I' m Ilustration's student, so I'd like so much books about art, draw, handmade papers and books etc.This is an incredible book: the pictures, information about it, binding, printing quality..... All book is a treasure to be in a library!Is important to my carrear (Ilustration) because I can see some ideas, for example, to my presentation work, kind of paper to be used in a proyect .and different elements to join in a proyect.

Some really beautiful handmade books.This book has great inspiration but no instructions. If you are looking for instructions you won't find it here. There are other books out there with clear instructions for making.

Okay, this is not a book about techniques but about how other people go about interpreting the book making techniques into their artistic endeavours. My only regret is that the photos aren't larger but to cover the 500 books it would mean many trips to the gym so you can lift the book. I can look through it time after time and always get some new idea or inspirations from it.

I appreciate the changes made from the first volume of 500 Handmade Books but I would take it even further to give more of a description of each book. I would also like more photos of each entry to give a better idea of the complete structure.

A beautiful book filled to the brim with gorgeous images of handmade books. Truely inspiring!

It's like a 415 page museum of the most beautiful handmade books you'll probably ever see. But you won't get any help with making your own. The photographs might give you an idea for a structure that would work for something you have in mind. But you won't learn a thing about how to make them. If you know how to make a star-book, a Chinese sewing box, a double concertina, a double tunnel, or a flexagon - you're going to love this. If you were hoping for help with learning those, it's not in this book.

great read and idea finder! Formats are innovative and inspire more tinkering and experiments! Well done, Julie Chen... great job selecting so many talented artists' work.

Love bookmaking and this book is full of ideas and inspiration. A great gift for any artist in your family that would like to learn about all the different ways of bookmaking and it's practice.
