BOOKBINDING AT PP-PRESS
Plickity Plunk Press offers two perspectives on personal bookbinding: Traditional & Medieval, with kits, supplies, and workshops.

The structural bookbinding techniques are based on the museum-store limited-edition books originally created by PP-Press for The ShadowTracks™ Collection.

MAKING A BOOK
There are 3 concerns with creating a book:

• Design/Presentation
• Content/Formatting
• Bookbinding

Knowing 'how' to structurally bind a book is key to addressing Design and Content.

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

'A writer becomes an author when you bind your words.' —PP-Press

*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 Gift.
