私のアーティストブック、「THE LAST SUMMIT」の製本手順を、以前本ブログに書いた時から更新したので、2024年版としてメモしておきます。
かなり特殊な、斜めに折る製本の手順ですが、本作りしている方の参考になればと思います。
主に本文ページの製本手順なので、カバーはできている前提です。
I have updated the binding procedures for my artist book, “THE LAST SUMMIT”, since I previously wrote about it on this blog, so I am making a note of them here for the 2024 version.
These are fairly unique binding procedures that involve folding diagonally, but I hope they will be helpful for anyone making a book.
These are mainly binding procedures for the main text pages, so it is assumed that the cover is already in place.
This store mainly deals in photo books. The owner, Mr. Kobayashi, has a great sense of style and handles cool photo books and art books from all over the world. Most of the books are new publications, but they also carry used books. The prices are inexpensive, and popular items sell out quickly, but we also carry many books that can only be purchased through this store in Japan. We are strong in fashion-related photo books, and we also carry zines. In addition to photo books, we also carry books on design, such as collections of works by overseas designers, exhibition catalogs, and typography books that you can find only at this store. The store often holds exhibitions of artists and book events.

There is also a gallery (exhibition space) inside the store, where you can see exhibitions of photographers and artists.
Various photography books are displayed according to the owner’s classification of genres, so it is easy to browse, even though there are a lot of books. This bookshop is recommended for students and those who are beginning to be interested in photography books and art books.
A long-established design-related antiquarian bookstore with a store in Shibuya. The store carries many famous and rare books on architecture, design, and photography.
A bookstore with a store in Osaka’s Nishi Ward. They carry a large number of cool photo books. They also have a discount service for members. I visited the store when I was on a trip to Osaka, and the store is quite spacious, with many nice art books and photo books.
A gallery, bookshop and distributor located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. The location is used as photographer Yukihito Kono’s studio, but on weekends it is open as a gallery. Since 2018, they have been working as a distributor for international independent publishers such as JM Ramirez Suassi, Multipress, and Overlapse, as well as self-published works. The books they carry are wonderful and I buy a book every time I see them at an event in Tokyo.
