BOOKBINDING
As much as books are part of our 21st Century life, book production and repair are still a seeming mystery.

PP-Press offers The BookMaaker™ kit: A Traditional • Personal-Library perspective.

MAKING A BOOK
There are 3 concerns with creating a book: Design/presentation, formatting content, and binding the book. Knowing 'how' to make a book is key to addressing content and design.

—PERSONAL LIBRARY— The BookMaaker™ kit teaches hands-on book structure as you make two 96-page quarter-bound 'flat-back' (using a spine) journal-size hardcover blank books. AVERAGE COMPLETION TIME: First book: 3-hours. Second book: 1-1/2 hours

—Give the book a different look
by using your own cover material—

Once you have made a book, you will be able to apply your structural knowledge to consider creating your own limited edition books.

DESKTOP PUBLISHING
The BookMaaker™ is designed to accommodate the use of letter-size (8-1/2"x11") paper, with a finished book page size of 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" making it possible to use computer desktop publishing, computer printer, and copy machine to bring uniqueness to the finished product.

[Not Included: Content-formatting instructions or software.]

REASONS FOR MAKING A BOOK
A personal library keepsake. Create your own personal journal. Bind your family history, or a book of your own poetry. A garden/nature journal, or a diary. Bind your love letters, or child's art and writings. A recipe book.

*BRICKS* *BRICKS* *BRICKS*
In order to help stabilize the construction process, it is suggested that you use two standard household masonry bricks.

Make sure the bricks are dry. Not just plucked out of the garden. (Moisture and paper do not work well together). You can purchase them at a lumber-supply store.

Wrap and tape the bricks as you would a gift, and you're set to go. They also make good bookends.

**GIFT IDEA**
Give the bricks as a gift.
Give the bonefolder as a gift.
