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. Now, finally, I've done the sensible thing and had the book printed as an affordable and useful handbook of instruction. A5 size, $5 plus postage. (click on image for a bigger view) |
Complex Numbers in Graphs
It was a long time coming! Cover |
 Sample pages |
It may seem strange, after all the books on art (or Taekwon-Do), but I'd 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 only had 50 printed.
Just email me at dale @ tart.co.nz (remove spaces) if you'd like a copy.
