I have been teaching bookbinding for many years and have seen how intimidated people feel when comes to bind their own books. With this kit, you can 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!

๐Ÿ’ก 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 on to the book block and then glued into the case. Case binding produces a hardback book which is robust and will last a lifetime.

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.

๐Ÿšš 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.

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
