Thanks for this tutorial. It really helped cement my plans for the books I'm planning to bind. The only differences I making is the pages are already going to be printed on (I'm a writer ^_^), the covers are going embroidered fabric and leather, and I'm going to build a small pvc frame to help make the actual sewing part easier (an idea I got from another tutorial).
Hello. I just wanted to tell you that I've made my first-ever hand-conded hard-cover phoyography book, and it came out fantastic, thanks to your tutorial. It is so clear and precise that even in the first time i succeed. Thank you so much!
Maybe i'll send a link to pictures later... it's now drying.
I just wanted to say thanks for the video. I just made my first cloth covered journal and it took me only about an hour to make the cover. Love the video.
i JUST LOVED THIS VIDEO. YOUR VOICE IS VERY SOOTHING AND REALLY ENJOYED ALL 4 PARTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHARE YOUR WONDERFUL SKILL WITH US ALL.
Why is everyone trying to make River Song notebooks?? You guys are awesome!! That's why I came here.. Otherwise $90 to buy one from overseas.. Flag. I'd rather be a creative poor student. :-)
I know in one of your videos you said somewhere what book you learned this from. I want to know the title and author of that book you learned from so I may buy it also.
Thank you so much for this whole tutorial. I used this to make a book for an assignment at university! I just finished it today. for a first try it reckon it has come out quite well :D
Love it! (the camera person could have done a better job, lol.) I think I want to start making my own journals now! Where do you get your supplies from?
Do you have the instructions written down anywhere? I would love to give these a go. You teach brilliantly btw, thank you so much for sharing your talent
Oh wow! My friend and I were just talking about how we wished one of my stories was in book form instead of like a word document! I am thinking about doing this for my story Run For Your Life and I can't wait to try!
Also, (last post, I promise!) Do you glue down your mull and ribbons? Doing so before glueing endpapers to cover will create a really strongly-bound book (as both the endpaper and the mull are glued to the cover) and you won't have that little puffy bit alongside the spine when you open the book...
Tip for glueing endpapers to the cover...my first few books I used the mthod you used and had the same problem, so I started doing it differently, and found it works great! Instead of pushing the cover down onto the glued endpaper, try lowering the glued endpaper down onto the cover. Lay the cover flat infront of you and line-up where the spine is to sit, hold the block with one hand and use your other hand to guide the paper down gently, making sure it is well-aligned. Then press down.
I've been making hardcover books for a while now, and found some different techniques here which I'm gonna try out, thank you for sharing! If you haven't tried cloth covering yet, I highly recommend it, gives gorgeous results, and very hard-wearing.
dude! Your videos rock!!! Thank you for taking the time to teach me. I have become a freak about old Bibles and wanted to recover my own. I appreciate your video sooo much i have watched all of them 10 times so thank you thank you thank you! Jim in California USA
It's so professional! And no crazy devices or materials that I have to go out and buy. Normally these sort of tutorials seem easy at first and then I need the nose hairs of some and African bull. Thank you for putting this together for us!
Hi, I saw the uneven cutting of pages probably caused by the way you fold the papers or when you stiched the pages. I was wondering is there anyway we can make it even? I can't imagine how people cut it flat for a case of a very thick book. I mean the case as in minutes 4.42, when you said you are not happy. :-) Ken

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS BARONESSNZ ! ! ! ! ! !
I just finished the last step of gluing my new book together! It's not perfect, but all in all pretty good! I tried to find someone in Toronto to bind this one book for me. One person quoted me $150 - $200 (Canadian) and another person who said she charges $50/hr, actually declined to do the job because she was too busy - before I even said I wanted her to do it!
I contacted about 5 places and not one person even got back to me! I'm so happy to have found your clear instructions and see how easy it is. The only thing I was unsure about was how big to cut the in-pages....I guess I sort of figured it out....Many thanks from Canada!!!!
@ponydalook From when I made my books, I found that making the end sheets just a little bit wider than the paper you used for the pages of the book itself, it worked a lot better, mostly because there's a few millimeters in the crease that you need to fill. I suggest cutting and fitting before gluing though, just to see how much bigger it needs to be
Thank you so much for these detailed videos, I've watched them several times now while making my own journal. Maybe I'll make a video of the result, but it might take a while, I'm still looking for some cool cover fabric. So thanks, and I love that Australian accent you have!
Thank You for the time and effort you put into making this tutorial... it was very helpful! :) Keep up the great work... you've got such a nice personality :) xXx

@waqgurl142 dental floss works really good ffor the string part paper needle scissors fabric glue brush ruler cardboard ribbon optional for bookmark 2 in paper it paper like with color big paper for the whole book i think that's about it
thank you so much, i really needed this video, becuase i have to write a book for my literature final exam at school, and it needed to be in a cover and everything :/
That's brilliant. Thank you so much for the videos. I'm trying to make a Miniature Book of Edgar Allen Poe. I shrank the words down and working on the cover. Hope to show you soon..
@Lizkaaa11 you can get card stock from your nearest craft store, idk what kind of store you have near you, but if you use google or something you should be able to find a store pretty easily, just make sure you call in ahead of time to make sure they actually have some so that you don't wait a trip to the store just to find out that they don't have it :D
well i get it from when i used up my binders i just take the cardboard out of that it works grat but be carful when you cut it because its really difficult!
Hiya! I love this tutorial, thanks so much for the post. It's super useful. I don't get the signatures part though; is it every third section or something? :S
I'd love to make one of these as a gift for someone! great tutorial. Where can you buy the book materials like paper for the cover and the heavy paper for the inside of the cover? at a hobby store, like Michaels or something? or at a specialty store?
Hi! Your tutorial is very encouraging you have made it simple. I just have one question: What is the material that you have covering the spine of your signatures after you have sewed it together. I think you have skipped telling us that part. Thanks, I really like watching your videos. Janice Mae
Oh wow, I've got to try this sometime. I'm writing books and they're ready to be bound, but everytime I've done it it looks bad and it doesn't last very long. But I think this'll help me out alot. Thanks a bunch!
what do you use for the cover? some sort of cardboard or just thick paper? also, i don't understand how you would substitute the cover for fabric. wouldn't the cover be all flimsy then?
We have a lit project in school to make a book from the paper we r writing so I am gonna try this. What material did you use for the cover? and since I am going to use printed pages, how much space should I leave in the middle? I mean When I print the pages.
I'm sorry I am no expert on book making, so I wouldn't have a clue about the spacing that you're after, perhaps make a mock up so you can trial it. The card I use is very thick: 2mm. Good luck :D
thankyou so much for your easy tuition! i had been looking around on the internet for how to do this, but your video was by far the simplest and best explained. im going to make one for my girlfriend- she loves all sorts of quotes and love poems, this is a great gift for that.
thanks again.
ps. what is a really nice type of thick paper that i could use for the leaves???
What a romantic gift. You'll have to post a pic when you have finished. A nice thick paper is watercolour paper, you can buy like a pad of paper. Very thick though. You can have some thick and some coloured, you can even hace some pages half size for interest. Good luck
see cos i was going to write in a fountain pen, all cursive looking and stuff. is it possible to get this paper in A3 size? and will the ink seep through to the other side?
Good Video! I was looking for exactly this kind of video to refresh my memory since it's been years since I've made a book. Thank you! Have you added the part where you glue the linen to the page binding?
great videos, but you forgot to show you gluing the linen? strip to the outside of the papers, on top of the tapes. still, really well done, a lot easier to understand than most of the online written instructions.
Thanks for this tutorial. It really helped cement my plans for the books I'm planning to bind.

Good Video! I was looking for exactly this kind of video to refresh my memory since it's been years since I've made a book. Thank you! Have you added the part where you glue the linen to the page binding?

I'm so glad I could be of service, I'm certainly not an expert I just enjoy making books and wanted to share it with others. Thanx for feedback

Thanx for the feedback, I'll have a look at the part I've left out and fix it up for ya. :)

great videos, but you forgot to show you gluing the linen? strip to the outside of the papers, on top of the tapes. still, really well done, a lot easier to understand than most of the online written instructions.
