In this video I share my project to turn The Lord of the Rings Collector's Guide from a PDF into a stunning hardcover book that I can add to my library.

Sewing and binding your own books is a wonderful project. Not only is it relatively simple, but it also allows you to add "proper" books to your collection instead of spiral-bound PDF files.

You can find the PDF version of the Collectors Guide (version 8.1 at the time of making this video) on the One Ring forum, here – http://www.one-ring.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f30&t15007

I learned a lot from Jennifer on Sea Lemon, a wonderful channel worth subscribing to if you want to create books or journals – https://www.youtube.com/user/SeaLemonDIY

These two videos in particular are what I used to learn how to create my own hardcover books…

Create a Kettle Stitched Text Block – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v9O4kFTOEh6k

Added hardcovers to text blocks – https://www.youtube.com/watch?vAv_rU-yOPd4&t

You can download Book Binder 3.0 here – http://quantumelephant.co.uk/bookbinder/bookbinder.html

This is a small JAVA program that allows you to "remap" a PDF into the appropriate page sequence to print "signatures".
