MEDIEVAL BOOKBINDING
Bookbinding began around the 4th Century AD when written communication evolved from the use of scrolls, to flat folded sheets sewn and protected between boards, then wrapped in leather.

Using the tools and techniques developed by PP-Press, you will learn to make two 84-page hardcover open-back handsewn signature-style blank books, attaching boards and papers in a weave of waxed Irish linen thread.

*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. Then you're set to go. They also make good bookends.

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