DIY Fonts

How To Make Books

My friend Esther, from the lovely little artists' letterpress Purgatory Pie Press, has a new book out that is definitely worth picking up. Chock full of easy instructions with clear illustrations How To Make Books is a handy resource for crafters, zinesters, designers, recyclers, and artists alike. I especially like the suggestions for making books out of recycled paper, envelopes, postcards, and even cake boxes! Plus the whole thing is beautifully designed and would make a lovely conversation piece on your coffee table. Look for it at your local independent bookseller!
