Bookbinding: Drum Leaf Binding

Come and bind your own book at Common Press! In this 3 hour workshop, you will learn the Drum Leaf Binding, popularized by Timothy Ely. This is an adhesive binding made with single-sided folios rather than sewn signatures, meaning no complex imposition to deal with when adding content.
