Learn how children’s board books are made—from their durable layered pages to why they lay flat. Perfect for authors, illustrators, and publishers who want to understand the craft behind books that last.

Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.

Finally! A new #bookmaking project! We discovered traveller’s notebooks this year. Love the concept but wanted to have one that was #vegan AND not made of plastic. I also wanted to make my own inserts. These are prototypes to see if the concept could work. I am so proud of these! I learned a great deal and am planning on making a larger one for A5 notebooks.

bookmaking is yuri

• the touch and texture of fine printing [in fine press printing the ink “kisses” the paper],
• handmade or mouldmade papers that are soft to the touch, often with deckled edges,
• binding materials, such as a variety of colors of book cloth, silk, or leather,
