This time we return to Lori Sauer to discuss her project BINDING re:DEFINED and the importance of teaching and learning different bookbinding approaches and techniques.

During this episode, Loris shows many unusual book structures including some structures created by other bookbinding teachers participating in the BINDING re:DEFINED project. These structures include: - Daniel Kelm's wire edge binding; - Kylin Lee Acherman's split spine book structure; - Nadine Werner's steckalbum.
