Easy-to-follow, well-illustrated directions explain how to make pop-up panels, pages that "explode" from the spine, slipcases, tassels, and other distinctive features. A full-color photo gallery offers further inspiration for enhancing and personalizing projects. From the author of Cover to Cover, which is also now available in an updated edition.
