I am having the hardest time finding anything I can follow on the internet. In the end, I'll probably buy a good book on bookbinding. I can't take a com. college class now, but it would be great if they offered it. Thanks. Can you send simple instructions on the coptic binding?

It was great, you might want to see if there are any in your area. I found a couple tutorials on the web back when I took the class but don't know where I found them now. It's been a while.

Our instructor for the course taught us by had and drew the instructions on paper for us. We didn't use a text book at all. There are a few that I found in book stores but haven't purchased any recently. If you find some, feel free to post here since many people may also be interested in goo resources on this. BTW, Coptic binding works really good for a drawing/sketch notebook because it can lay flat open while leaving the pages flat too. Good luck! Hey Zap, I’m not sure which books are good or not.

I'm getting into drawing and would like to make a few of my own sketchbooks using these methods. A brief search on Amazon yields about 2273 books which I have no way of telling apart so ... any recommendation of yours would be much appreciated.

In the next class I believe that we'll cover some advanced techniques such as preservation and re-binding. Yes actually, I’m taking a class right now and covering some basic bindings.

Have you ever thought about doing any preservation alongisde this binding? There are a lot of old books and manuscripts in need of some TLC like this. This is awesome.
