Alongside not being allowed to use biros (we had to use fountain pens), we also had to make all of our writing books, one for each class or project, and then ensure that they were written in in an attractive style. It may have seemed a bit OTT for some, but that book binding that we had to do and the page layout for each project have stayed with me through years of being in graphic design and marketing. I haven't bound a book in about five years, now, but reading your discovery of it has left me with the urge to do so again!!! I'm also looking forward to reading more about your book binding adventures! :) I went to a secondary school in the UK where the staff had some cool ideas about ensuring we were creative.

I've been thinking recently about doing some bookcrafting again, for exactly the same reasons you cite. I shall follow your progress with interest!
