This is probably not the best place to post this, since most members probably already know what they're doing, but if you have friends who are wannabe bookbinders, this might be a good thing for them -- or if you want to learn a new type of binding, maybe one is right for you.

I have 2 fabulous bookbinding kits that I received for Christmas two
years ago and never used. Each kit contains clear instructions and
all of the materials you need to make 2 complete books. Even glue and
thread are included. The only things you need are a bone folder (or
other smoothing object) and some weights (they suggest bricks wrapped
in paper).

The boxes are open, but all of the materials are intact as they were
packaged (I never even unfolded the paper or 'unbundled' the
supplies). Each kit retails for $49.95. I will sell for $35 each
plus shipping (each kit weighs 2 lbs. 10 oz. from zip code 02703).

The first kit is called The Book of Ages ... this kit makes 2
medieval style open-back binding books. See it here:

The second kit is called The Bookmaker ... this kit makes 2
traditional 'quarter bound' books. See it here:

I accept non-credit card PayPal (preferred), money order, or
Visa/MasterCard through my business' secure server. Please email.

Thanks!
