For those more accustomed to western (hardback/perfect) styles, Japanese bookbinding can at first look cheap and nasty. However, it is a valuable adjunct to the craft, and can make absolutely beautiful, hardwearing, amazing, books.

Pro: Clear diagrams, descriptions, and photographs almost obviate the need for text, but don't let them tempt you into skipping the text! This little book holds a wealth of information.

Con: There are a few problems in the translation in spots - suppliers for example (as normal) are outdated, and the imperials/metric suggestions for measurements instead of the traditional Japanese ones are slightly fudged, but that's nitpicking. You can use these techniques, quite well, with ordinary (and extraordinary!) papers as well as the washi paper the book refers to, so don't be frightened off by that either.

If you love books and bookmaking, find a copy.

Excellent manual for learning Japanese bookbinding techniques. The descriptions are clear, as are the diagrams and photographs. Included are a bibliography, a list of suppliers (though this is somewhat outdated) and a glossary. Highly recommended.
