Many resources were shared at the March 2010 meeting of the Book Arts Guild of Vermont. Links to these resources are listed below, including those that came up during discussion.
A resource booklet was given to everyone who came to the presentation – the pages were bound using a pamphlet stitch. You can download a copy of the booklet by clicking here. The pages are formatted for binding – just fold the two pages in half, nest them, and you’re good to go!
