Annesi Bindings | Case Binding 8: Making the Cover @AnnesiBindings | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This is the eighth video in a nine-part series in which I provide a step-by-step outline of how to bind a case-bound book. Case binding is the most widely-used form of contemporary bookbinding and is a good starting point for anyone who wants to learn how to bind or repair books.

These videos are intended for total beginners and also use the most basic of equipment, as I am aware that not everyone has access to formal bookbinding tuition and/or expensive equipment.

The videos in this series can be found at the links below.
