In this DVD master bookbinder Peter Goodwin shows in detail how to make an account book or a 'springback' ledger, as it is known in the trade. It is a style of binding that allows a book to lie flat so you can write right up to the margins. In olden times this was the usual binding for stationery books. Springback ledgers are the test of a bookbinder's craft. This type of binding is considered challenging and is usually avoided by lesser mortals as "too hard."
