Get started with a brief introduction to the concept of low-tech design, which involves the use of techniques that eliminate the need for special machinery and complex processes. Then explore the different parts of a book and the tools and materials you need.
Once your basic bookbinding kit is ready, discover the steps to create variations of folded books with accordion, butterfly, and geometric binding techniques, as well as stitched books using Japanese and Coptic stitching methods.
Next, dive into the vast world of self-publishing. Learn to design your own book, choosing the materials, the cover type, the format, and more. With this foundation to build on, find out how to digitally create the layout for your project with Adobe InDesign.

C'est très bien mais j'aurais apprécier voir aussi la reliure traditionnel, avec les cahiers cousus. Un peu comme un vrai livre. Et aussi de gros problèmes de traduction en francais malheureusement. Mais sinon, les formateurs sont excellent !
