If you want a tutorial book that’s as beautiful to look at as it is informative, this is it.
Holly D’Oench, bookbinder and creator of Black Oak Bindery
It's so hard to find accessible bookbinding information when you're first starting out. Chanel's elegant design sense and clear instructions eliminate that problem and will make your first projects fun, exciting, and frustration-free.
Nate McCall, bookbinder and creator of McCall Co. Bindery & Book Arts
Chanel understands what it’s like to be a beginner in bookbinding. Her carefully chosen projects are fun, easy to create and build on existing skills while teaching new techniques with every gorgeous book. As a fellow book arts teacher, I highly recommend!
Misty McIntosh, creator of papercraftpanda
Chanel has an elegance about her work; she conveys a visual poetry entirely unique to her craft.
