Single Section Conservation Pamphlet // Adventures in Bookbinding

In this video I demonstrate a binding structure proposed by Randy Silverman in 1987 as a conservation binding specification. Silverman defines a pamphlet as a booklet of up to 3 sections. I propose this structure is also ideal for binding new material.

These videos are only possible thanks to the support of Patreons, and if you are able, your support would be greatly appreciated.
