Most book lovers are familiar with the frustration of having a treasured book fall apart from age or use or both. Now the solution is at hand in this modestly priced, step-by-step guide to the craft of hand bookbinding. With this book, you'll learn how to restore not only ailing hardcovers, but paperbacks, periodicals, and other materials as well.
Profusely illustrated with over 250 photos and drawings by the author, the clear, concise text gives details of book sewing of all types -- antique, flexible, outside cords, lockstitch, whipstitch, and more, as well as the modern practice of perfect binding in which the bound book is composed of single sheets. You'll also learn how to make endpapers, attach headbands, case in, and cover with book cloth, buckram, artificial leather, and other materials. Finally, Mr. Banister offers clear instructions for adding titling and decoration with gold leaf, gold and metal foils, and printed labels.
In short, this expert guide will teach you everything you need to know about bookbinding -- even how to build your own book press and other equipment. An updated list of suppliers will help you locate any other materials you may need.

Cool Caddy
Color: Hanging-silver
This is a cool little caddy, but it must have enough space around it, otherwise, it could easily get knocked off it's mounting bracket. The caddy body itself sits smoothly into two small arms that hold it up; however, it's not a snap on tight design, so if you knock it, it will easily dismantle into the sink. We have two small sinks, it works good for it, but must have it's own little space where there isn't too much movement around it. Jus saying, and the quality is good.

Well-Designed and Durable Sink Organizer for Daily Use
Color: Suction cup-Black
The sink caddy arrived on time and was securely packaged. The stainless steel construction feels solid and resistant to rust. It fits neatly inside the sink without taking up too much space. The organizer holds sponges, brushes, and dishcloths in an orderly way. Water drains easily, helping items dry faster and stay cleaner. Installation was simple and did not require any tools. The design blends well with most modern kitchen sinks. It helps reduce clutter around the sink area during daily use. Fit may vary depending on sink size and faucet placement. Overall, this is a practical and well-made kitchen sink accessory that works as expected.

Good little rack for sink brushes and sponges.
Color: Suction cup-Black
A lightweight little rack, works just fine. It occasionally slides up out of the suction cups that connect it, hence the 4 star rating.

Looks good. Neat and out of the way.
Color: Suction cup-Black, Color: Suction cup-Black
The suction cups didn’t stick to my sink, but the plastic strip adhered well. My husband didn’t even notice it on our sink for half a day. That was the look I was going for!
