Do you want a reliable way to bind a script, a novel, a thesis, an ebook, or similar project? If the answer is yes, "Easy Bookbinding" may be exactly the how-to resource you are looking for.
But, it is not right for everyone.
Let me explain.
First off, $49 is a lot of money to spend on an e-book about DIY bookbinding.
That's the current going rate for Nathan DeStephano's "Easy Bookbinding" course - although, there is a warning on the website (which has been there for over 2 years) that the price 'could' go up to $98 at any moment.
The sales letter website for "Easy Bookbinding" really put me off the first time I saw it and it almost kept me from buying the e-book at all.
Apart from the empty price threats, the site features 37 benefit bullet points, 6 post scripts, lots of bold red headlines and bright yellow highlighted sentences, and a lots of hyped-up sales copy.
DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE WEBSITE! I, ultimately, took a chance and spent $49 of my own hard-earned money to buy a copy of the eBook - and I'm so glad I did.
My personal bookbinding journey started when I read a blog post about turning ebooks into physical books at home.
Being a huge fan of ebooks (pre-Kindle PDF-style) and having a growing pile of them that I wished I could print and bind without resorting to hole punchers and 3 ring binders, I gave it a try.
The process I used worked pretty well and I was hooked.
Like you, I wanted to learn more about the process so I could improve my results.
I searched high and low and mostly found websites made from old public domain books on the subject.
I have no intention of sewing together books or hand tooling leather covers.
A nice paperback is fine for my needs.
Throughout my research I kept coming across "Easy Bookbinding" by Nathan DeStephano.
This eBook seemed like the only thing out there aimed at teaching what I wanted to know.
But, that sales letter kept making me doubt the quality of the ebook.
Maybe Nathan was just a scammer and the book was a re-hash of old texts like everything else I had found.
When I opened the copy I bought, I was surprised at how complete it is.
Nathan goes into extremely exacting detail about formatting your books, selecting paper, and building your own binding jig.
Every detail is covered in both English and Metric measurements, so the book works well for anyone who reads English.
The trick he provided for laminating covers using common lamination equipment had a radical impact on the professional look of the books I was making.
I can print full color covers with my inkjet printer and get a nice durable finish that prevents drips and spills (or even a pair of sweaty hands) from ruining the covers.
The bonus report on hardcovers helped me create a hardcover copy of the "Easy Bookbinding" ebook.
That book now sits proudly on my shelf for easy reference.
If you are looking for a book to show you have to create 'book art' or craft fine leather-bound editions using old-world craftsmanship, keep looking - this isn't for you.
But, if you want a reliable way to bind a script, a novel, a thesis, an ebook, or similar projects, "Easy Bookbinding" will provide a very firm foundation for your bookbinding work.
This eBook will save you hours of trial and error.
