From the beginning to the end, Betsy demonstrates her skill as a Master Bookbinder. She explains the how and why of even the smallest detail. While demonstrating her skill, she will drop a hint that would take years to find in a book. Not only does she tell you how to do bookbinding right, she tells you the consequences when you don't do it correctly.
While the videos editing is a little amateurish, being in the presence of Betsy is worth the investment.
Excellent detailed Information but the video quality is lacking.
