Between the Covers

Classes at San Francisco Center for the Book

In the past few years, your relationship with books has all but dissolved. You read (most) of your e-mail, you (sometimes) read the paper online, and you religiously check several popular blogs.

But what of your waning connection with the printed page? The classes at San Francisco Center for the Book make it a practically painless reconciliation.

Sign up for the weekend-long Bookbinding and learn about paper grain, folding, and sewing procedures. You’ll walk away with two full-cloth, case-bound tomes. In Minibook Mysteries Revealed, you’ll create jewel-like books that can be used as greeting cards or invitations. Origami Book Structure will have you folding paper Japanese style. After Letterpress Basics, you’ll know enough to get the right impression should you ever wish to typeset your own stationery.

And the Spiral Bound Journals course will bring the personalization of your diary to a whole new level.

Just the thing to ease you into a happy reunion.

And get you ready for your next chapter.
