1: 21st century book minds and imaginations
Could anyone have guessed what a vast array of handmade books today's artists are creating!? Thanks to Lark Books, we have a better understanding of the impact of books on 21st century minds and imaginations! It's all here for our amazement: meticulously constructed, leather-bound volumes or spontaneous, free-form, lopsided tomes. I had never realized that in this day of alternative media we have such a bookbinding renaissance! The one thing that is missing -- a super large format and even bigger pictures that would allow examination of every bookbinding detail. Next time!

2: inspiring
I love this book, it is full of great pieces, and well organized. Each time i look at it i see more. Nice to have a book with images, not a how to book.

3: 500 Handmade Books
I found this book to be inspirational in seeing the possibilities of crafting handmade books. The illustrations are great. The book contains no directions or "how to do it", but for the book lover, it contains outstanding examples of works by book artists.

5: 500 Handmade Books: Inspiring Interpretations of a Timeless Form
Lots of inspiration and great eye-candy. If you need written step-by-step instructions, this isn't the book for you.
