Bind your Own Journal Kit - Western Bookbinding: Case Binding
I have been teaching bookbinding for many years and have seen how intimidated people feel when comes to binding their own books. With this kit, you will enjoy the process and learn the basics of bookbinding, stress-free and easily with amazing results. The written instructions will guide you through every step of the procedure and the accompanying video will provide all the visual aid you need to make your first hardcover book. Although you will learn how to measure and cut every component - a knowledge necessary for your next books - I have already done it for you in this kit. I hope that you will have a great time making your first hardcover book and learn the how-to for your next adventures in bookbinding!
The kit contains tools, supplies, and instructions (written and video), to make your own professional cased-in hard-bound journal, in no time! Your book will be A5 size (14.8x 21 cm - 5.83" x 8.27") and it will be great for a photo album, a journal, a guest album, a diary, or even a gift to a loved one.
This kit is a perfect gift for any creative person, as it teaches the craft of bookbinding in an easy and comprehensive way! Make your first book and you will be hooked for life!
๐ก Full Case Binding, is the traditional way to produce a hard-backed book. The pages are sewn together in sections and attached to the inside of a case with end papers which are tipped onto the book block and then glued into the case. Case binding produces a hardback book that is robust and will last a lifetime.
๐ If you want to bind your book with more pages, please buy this add-on.

Shipping
Shipping
I will pack your journal very carefully and post it by registered mail. It is more expensive than the simple "air-mail" service, but it will let us both breathe freely and not worry about the fate of your journal. I will email you the tracking number, so that you can track your journal during its journey to you.
๐ Standard Shipping is fulfilled by National Post. Greek postal service needs 3-10 business days (for registered/express delivery), to deliver to your country's inward Office of Exchange (local post). From then on, it depends on your local post. I have estimated the delivery time to the best of my knowledge, but there might be delays that I cannot predict.
๐For faster and more accurate service, please ๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐. European orders are shipped via DHL. USA and most Canadian orders are shipped via FedEx. If your address is considered "remote" by the carrier, I will revert it to National Post. Please note that courier service is not available for P.O. Boxes
