How to Make Your Own Book: a Book Binding Tutorial

"The Basic Binding of Books: A Tutorial"

It starts with a list of materials.

Continues with clear photos and text.

Ends with:

"When completed, place the entire book under weights overnight. A good, long dry under pressure is necessary so that your book doesn't warp. Afterward you can attach decorative end papers if you wish, using the same method."

This looks like a pretty good tutorial on how to make your own book. Not write it: make it.

Unlike many, this tutorial actually seems to acknowledge that the reader doesn't already know the skill - and may need an illustration to show what's supposed to be done.
