Glossary

Excellent in its clarity of language. The glossary was a huge help because if one leaps right into bookbinding without any primer, one is studying a foreign language. With the glossary, at least I get translations to which I can relate. The operations are clear and uncomplicated UNTIL YOU DO THEM. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see one better have dexterity in his hands and fingers. And a lot of patience!
