Also, the exciting variations of book arts seemed well represented.The book surpassed my expectations. Not only is it a survey of some of the most exciting artists in the field, with selections of their works, it offers a step-by-step view of their creations, with materials, techniques and equipment shown clearly. I could, if I wanted to, completely rip off their work. But as a thinking artist, I can look at these tutorials and know with certainty how to acheive novel effects while still remaining true to where I want to go from there and have my own viewpoint and message.It is an art school between pages.In addition, each artist's section includes inspirational work from other artists they enjoy or collect, whether or not in book arts. There are literally hundreds of leads to track down, if you're a researcher, or starting points for your own vision.Beautiful full-color photographs and clear prose.Finally, as a personal note, I brought this book to my mother, who does not understand my passion for this field, or assemblage, or other related arts. She is bright and creative, yet has very pedestrian artistic tastes. She wanted to find some way to relate to my work. I left it with her and asked her to flip through it, telling her this would be even better than a trip to a museum of book arts.A week later, she returned it to me saying, "I know why you love this. How exciting."I defy anyone interested in book arts to come away from this and not want to make something beautiful. More than that, if you've never "gotten" what the fuss is about, this will give you that understanding. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2021* Very pleased with the book. Love the inspiration! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2010* This is an amazing book well laid out and very interesting. Not just a how to do book, the biography of each artist is enlightening followed by a gallery of books and inspiration sources and then a workshop with step by step photos that you could easily follow to make your own similar book or learn a specific technique. Excellent reading book and reference a great addition to anyones library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/2056821-the-penland-book-of-handmade-books-master-classes-in-bookmaking](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/2056821-the-penland-book-of-handmade-books-master-classes-in-bookmaking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
