A wealth of inventive and beautifully designed paper books with templates on how to make them
Packed with great examples by renowned artists and paper crafters and a wealth of folding templates, this book is a suggestive journey through the fantastic world of handmade books without binding, using origami and kirigami paper folding techniques to build leporellos, labyrinth, mini books, tunnel and other kinds of books. This repertoire of shapes and structures, many of them easy to make, is intended for artists, visual artists and teachers, as well as for lovers of handmade objects, scrapbooking or creative hobbies, who will find in here tools at the service of their imagination. The models presented here, some of them by artists known worldwide like Masahiro Chatani, Katsumi Komagata, Ed Hutchins, Paul Johnson, Hedi Kyle, Werner Pfeiffer, Alisa Golden and Joan Michaels Paque, not only use the traditional base of the classic folds resulting from oriental paper folding techniques (preliminary square or triangular base, lotus or diamond folding) but you will also find basic shapes which are reinvented.
