Annotations: Nicely illustrated although many of the photographs are confusing and taken from a poor perspective. Strong emphasis on artist's books. Seems some what lacking in description of the basics, like paper grain; and the use of terms like "channels" for joints is troubling. Some of the working procedures are nontraditional and some of the descriptions are muddled. Contains a short bibliography and resource guide.
