Imagination Realized!5
My child writes stories and poetry every day. This kit offers the next best thing to realizing a child's dream to be published. Included are all the materials needed to create your own beautiful hardcover book complete with slipcover. An easy to follow instructional guide and history of bookmaking is included. My daughter's finished product has even been on display in her classroom and school library!

Not a fun project2
The book about bookmaking looks good. The sewing of the binding went well -- but why do they have you to mix your own glue??? They should provide pre-mixed glue. It's frustrating and impossible to get the lumps out. Then when you put the book down to dry on newspaper, the newspaper gets stuck to the book. The end paper instructions are hard to follow. We're still working on this project, but I really wish I were through!

great!! FOR KIDS4
i don't know what i missed but i was looking for an adult book kit and received this. it is very cute , easy to assemble and they also encourage you to finish it by filling it in with anything you fancy making it your real first book.

very nice for kids 5-8 i would guess
