The Book about the Book

Norwegian title: Boka du lager selv

You can now learn how to make Arne & Carlos’ wonderful books that overflow with inspiration, ideas, important things to remember, colours and collages. You have seen them pictured in all of the books that they have released, usually in chapter introductions.

The book is split into two parts. The first part is a basic introduction to everything from cutting paper and adjusting it to the size you want to using a sewing machine to sew the pages together, gluing, making covers, binding the book and pressing.

It is generously illustrated with step-by-step images of the entire process. The equipment that you need is easy to obtain across the country. No speciality shops involved.

Part two of the book contains suggestions for book themes such as planning books for your wedding and memory books for a confirmation to guest and visitor books. Creative books for your own knitting, crochet or embroidery projects to gardening books, cookbooks, activity books and family tree books.

You will be given ideas for making your own wholly unique notebooks or memory books to give as gifts. This book is bulging with ideas in very best Arne & Carlos style.
