Bookbinding - An Introduction 2015

From beginning to end, complete instructions for traditional binding. 5th edition, revised and expanded. I used to sell these either as handbound books or as kitsets for binding yourself.

Complex Numbers in Graphs
It's been a long time coming! Cover |
 Sample pages |
It may seem strange, after all the books on art (or Taekwon-Do), but I've been working on this other passion of mine for YEARS.
Designed for college students & undergraduates, anyone who finds Complex Numbers more interesting than just another maths topic.
I've discovered such beautiful things!
53 pages, b/w on good glossy stock. Crown Quarto size (that's a little smaller than A4).
$20 plus postage - $3.50 for New Zealand, $7 for the rest of the world.
I've only had 50 printed.
Just email me at dale @ tart.co.nz (remove spaces) if you'd like a copy.
