Traditionally chap books are simple books with short texts, inexpensive to make so they could be widely distributed. In this workshop students will make three books with pre-printed texts to learn imposition and other basic bookbinding skills. Each book will be bound using a different pamphlet structure.
Single Pamphlet with a Sewn-in Paper Cover using “The Brownie’s Ride” excerpt from “The Brownie’s Their Book” by Palmer Cox.
Double Pamphlet with a Sewn-in Paper Cover using lined and numbered sheets folded down as quartos.
Double Pamphlet with a Tipped Wrapper & Label using an excerpt “Curious Facts” by Clifford Howard
*Decorative papers for covers may vary depending on availability.
