Mendraluevo, a Czech Field Guide to Hand Bookbinding

Field notes

Mendraluevo presents bookbinding as a sequence of physical decisions rather than a purely decorative craft. Its visible material covers folded signatures, sewing on tapes or cords, boards, paper grain, adhesives, repairs, and workshop equipment. The instructions include small operational details, such as using a diagonal mark to verify signature order and placing the outer stitches about 15 millimetres from the head and tail. The supplied homepage extract does not establish how extensive the linked chapters are.
