From E-Book to Real Book: Part 1 - Typesetting and Imposing a 120+ Year Old Bookbinding Manual

Hi everybody, welcome to the bindery! Over the years I've received countless requests for help on converting e-books or pdfs into a format suitable for hand binding, so I finally decided to figure it out for myself. In this video I'll show you not only where I found a free digital copy of Douglas Cockerell's essential work: 'Bookbinding and the Care of Books', but also how I converted the .epub file and formatted the book for printing and binding. Project Gutenberg: https://gutenberg.org/ PDFGear: https://www.pdfgear.com/ Bookbinder JS: https://momijizukamori.github.io/bookbinder-js/ In the next installments I will continue with sewing and casing in this book, so stay tuned! I will be giving away this book when this series is complete!
