How to........ instructions to make a concertina book

Those attending my workshops on printmaking or bookbinding will have received notes on various techniques. I have now started turning these into a series of little books. 
These concertina books contain fully illustrated instructions for making zigzag ( concertina) books. Approximately 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches) and hand bound in my own handprinted paper with hard covers. The 8 pages have been digitally printed and folded to give clear directions for making any size of book.

Zigzags and pockets

This little book has been designed based on the simple concertina format but includes extra pages stitched into the folds with long-stitch and pockets to hold this and that.

The ribbon is secured between the books cover and its pages through decorative star eyelets, these are also used to hold the pockets in place
