-here's a blog with lots of bookbinding info. The slipcase isn't made exactly as my demo but you can use it as a useful reference ( for example I omitted step 8). You'll find the clamshell described as well. Look in Top Posts. The link is here.

Link to Bookbinding Instructions:

-here's a site that follows pretty closely my instructions for a case binding (including kettle stitches, weavers' knots, etc.)
