From the Peter Pan Movie

|
| People always ask how | I became a Master Bookbinder ........... | |
"Well basically I taught myself like most of my skills but searched out master bookbinders of old and asked lots of questions and watched them work. From there it has been a simple step by step learning process in creating and completing more than 2000 individual books all fully hand made and crafted. With persistence, a passion to learn and clients who like and support your work, most people could accomplish this". archie |
