- People binding their first pamphlet or notebook
- Worth noticing
- It gives four paper-grain tests—bend, tear, water, and nail—before explaining three-hole and five-hole sewing.
Field notes
The notebook teaches paper behavior before construction, including why grain direction affects folds, creasing, swelling, and warping. Its sewing section gives bench-level instructions: fold each sheet separately, pierce from the inside, wax thread, and finish with a square knot. The page also distinguishes a three-hole pamphlet from a five-hole version for spines above about 20 cm, while its calculator is intended to check folding choices across A-series and US sheet sizes.
