Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Rebind a Paperback :: Perfect Bound Paperbacks (San Francisco, CA)
Hey you, finicky readers out there! Tired of having to wrestle with your beloved books as you read them? This class is for you. In this workshop, we will take a paperback book and transform it into something more durable and easier to flex and open. We will reuse the old covers and spines, creating a recessed area in the new hard covers to place the old ones. This is also one of the most common bindings for books in single sheets, so it is a technique you'll be able to use for other types of projects as well. Please note that we will be rebinding books provided by the instructor, so you can perfect the techniques before improving on your own personal treasures.
