Bound with a Japanese-binding method, the exposed-spine allows the book to lay (and stay) open without any bending whilst it's being used as an instructional manual.The inside flap extends outwards to reveal anaccurate ruler; handy to have nearby for when measurements are needed. The flap can then be folded inwards again, to bookmark a page and come back to a project later on. Finished with a burnt-orange thread running through the spine for an organic touch, this book isa real hands-on experiencethat's both durable and artistically crafted.
