Bookworks; Making Books by Hand

Written by Gwenyth Swain, this colorful book is packed with information. In addition to a concise history of bookmaking, it includes directions for a variety of book-related projects for children; from layout and design, to making paper, to different types of bound or folded books, and printing and illustration. The photos feature activities at the Minnesota Center for the Book Arts, and the book won the Minnesota Book Award in 1996. It is a nice resource for teachers who do "book" projects in their classrooms.
