From E-Book to Real Book: Chapter 1 - Typesetting and Imposing a 120+ Year Old Bookbinding Manual (1x64)

Air date: May 03, 2025

Over the years I've received countless requests for help on converting e-books or pdfs into a format suitable for hand binding, so I finally decided to figure it out for myself. In this video I'll show you not only where I found a free digital copy of Douglas Cockerell's essential work: 'Bookbinding and the Care of Books', but also how I converted the .epub file and formatted the book for printing and binding.
