Hi Sheila, greetings from Guarulhos, Brazil.
ReplyDeleteI found your lovely blog through Google.
I liked your post because I bought this book too (I make a little collection of bookbinding handbooks). I agree with you, the book is little but is full of information.
Congratulations for your beautiful blog.
Good Lord bless you very much!
