I have been low key dabbling in book and journal making for about a decade. The presentation was factual, sequential and stuck to the point throughout; which I appreciated. I found there were several points that were unknown to me, eg the hitch stitch and weavers knot [excellent to know] plus learning the differences in using a particular glue was helpful from an archivial perspective.
