PHEW!
ok so like i said, i've been working on a book binding tutorial, since i know that i would've been so grateful for something like this back when i didn't have a clue how to make a book but really wanted too
this took me all day, so i hope it's helpful, and i hope you can understand what i'm going on about xD some parts were really difficult to explain in writing...
and it includes all my secrets, so i hope those of you who do give it a go appreciate it!
obviously this is only part I, and it includes making your covers and inside pages. hopefully i'll be able to put more work into finishing it tomorrow, otherwise i won't be able to get the rest up till after christmas and you'll all be stuck with half a book lol!
this is going to be the same style of book as this one: [link]
in case you were interested in having a look at what it will look like when it's done
ANYWAY. if you do take a stab at bookmaking and you use my tutorial give me a shout, i'd love to see how you do!
and if there are any questions so far, post them here and i'll gladly answer them if i can

Given 2009-12-07coNstantine2530 noted me with BOOKBINDING TUTORIAL part I by =lenoki "I think everyone should be able to make books.. it's such a cheap, easy thing" says the author, and I must agree. This tutorial covers every aspect of what you need to know about bookbinding, making it really fun and appealing. When I first read it, I couldn't help but to fetch the materials and start one of my own! (

I was wondering whether you might give me permission to reproduce your post on my bookbinding tutorial website iBookBinding (www.ibookbinding.com)? I will give full credits to yourself and link back to this page or any other you request.
There are many fantastic tutorials on the internet about bookbinding but it seems that few bookbinders use Deviant Art (at least from from what I know based on conversations with many bookbinders) and as such, resources like this are missed by many which I think is a real shame.
If you would allow me to do this I would be extremely grateful,
Kind Regards,

I have a little question! :3
Would this still work even if I am not using folded paper? (I mean, If i just want to sew pages together that are not folded, let's say, A4 sizes. Or shall I get A3 and fold them?)
I need to print some works and then make a book out of them; but calculating the space that needs to be left on the inside for anything that needs to be read afterwards is really hard!)
Any suggestions? ;w;
Thank you! Wonderful tutorial <3
You shouldn't need to leave a particularly large space! Because it's a hand bound book it's never going to be as tight as a normal machine-bound one like in the shops, so it's easier to open the pages and as a result you see almost 100% of the paper. You'd only need to leave something like 5mm on the inside edges to be extra safe. Best thing to do is to bind a test book first
Looks like fun, though! Thanks for replying! :3
I'll see my way around the tedious process, or just see how I can manage with single pages ;w;
Thank you! And awesome tutorial btw <3
And congrats on the DD, it's well deserved!
I have most of the things at home already, but I can't figure out what pva glue is in German and where to get it ...
Are there any alternatives to it?
Also, thanks for commenting the things we could skip or substitute, it really helps to know you don´t need to buy all of the materials for making only one book. :-D
Wonderful tutorials!
My attempt, if you're interested: [link]
Again, thanks so much for taking the time to make this tutorial! It gave me hours of nerdtastic fun.
It's very clear and helpful
thanks for sharing
