Learning new binding structures require the self permission to fail. Most binders when learning a new method construct a book model. Through the trial of new stitching, fore-edge painting, leather onlay techniques, the binder tests their vision. The book model allows for the growth of the binder’s skill set by learning through mistakes and success.

A Binding Passion 
Hi, Esther. I wonder if you would allow me to use the image of one of your models in an educational video (home made, nothing professional) about the evolution of bookbinding. The image I want is this:

Of course, I would give you the credit.
