Book Reviews of Making Memory Books and Journals by Hand
Book Review: 3 books in 1: visual inspiration NOT instruction
Summary: 5 Stars
Making Memory Books and Journals by Hand is actually 3 separate books reprinted as a single 304 page text: Making Memory Books by Hand, 22 Projects to Make, Keep, and Share by Kristina Feliciano; Making Journals by Hand, 20 Creative Projets for Keeping Your Thoughts by Jason Thompson; Making Memory Boxes, Box Projects to Make, Give, and Keep by Barbara Mauriello. Diverse visual stimulation by 3 separate authors is augmented by numerous artists who share personal journals as a motivation gallery. The book's primary value is visual; the text I found confusing as if sentences had been inexplicably truncated without subsequent proof reading and revision. It is disappointing that such a well illustrated artistic compendium should not be supported with equally well written explanations. For exact detailed "how to" instructions on bookbinding, buy Cover to Cover by Shereen LaPlantz: stitch by stitch drawn illustrations, photos and specific, easily followed instructions. Please see Shereen LaPlantz's website for her unfortunately sad experience with the editing of her final book which is apparently as garbled as this one; Cover to Cover is explicit, simple as well as encouraging, like being with a kindly mentor who wants you to enjoy bookbinding. Making Memory Books and Journals by Hand is for visual inspiration only.
If you wish instruction in Coptic binding: Making and Keeping Creative Journals by Suzanne Tourtillot 2001 128pp includes instruction for Coptic binding and sewn in headbands. In Tourtillot's book each chapter is a pair of artists; a journaler artist is paired with a bookbinder (Daniel Essig, Gwen Diehn, etc) who design and execute handbound a book according to the specifications of the journaler. Photos of the journals in process are photographed with comments by the journal owner. World class bookbinders incorporate personal items (grandmother's hair ribbon as book mark) with characteristics unique to each journaler. All contributors are from Asheville NC and associated with the Penland School of Craft.
If you want pure inspiration, the Penland Book of Handmade Books cannot be surpassed but does not include instruction.
