Hi Rachel, I know you're asking for a source for finished structures to use for reference, but I thought these titles would also be helpful if you don't have them in your collection, since they offer detailed diagrams: 1. Paper folding for pop-up / Miyuki Yoshida 2. Pocket paper engineer : how to make pop-ups step-by-step / Carol Barton 3. Cover to cover: creative techniques for making beautiful books, journals, &n albums 4. Creating handmade books / Alisa Golden 5. The Penland book of handmade books Best, Ellie On Mon, Dec 12, 2011 at 10:47 AM, rachel resnik < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Good morning. > > Do any of you have a good source for blank artist book structures? > > A large number of MassArt students make artists' books during the spring > semester.
