Inspired by a couple of other members of Norwich and District Photographic Society I have started making my own photobooks. I have been on some workshops organised by the RPS which showed how to make a simple concertina book and Japanese Stab Binding.
Bookmaking is now taking off within the club and we organised a workshop for members.
This section of my website will be gradually updated with more of my books and some ‘how to’ pictures.
Some simple tools are all that is needed to get started
The first simple concertina book that I made
A slightly more complex concertina book with a spine
A simple concertina but with the photos printed dorectly on hte page which required careful layout
A couple of books using Japanese stab binding, a very simple technique when you understand the stitching process.
Spider Book
I made this spider book at Clove Bindery in Watton as part of a workshop. Very simple construction, I just need to populate it now.

Cover
This is my first explosion book. The pictures were mostly taken on a night walk around Norwich of old bottles in a nightclub window.
