I know from my own experience that a week long residential bookbinding course in our neck of the woods costs from £350 - £450, and for that you learn only a few bookbinding techniques, this library of tutorials teaches you many dozens of essential & useful techniques, all of which are available for instant replay.

These book binding tutorials are professionally produced (Memory Central Videos, SLC, Utah) and a pleasure to view!
