Growing up in India, at the end of each school year my Dad would help us tear out all the unused pages at the end of our notebooks. He would then take those to a book binder and get the pages bound to make a new notebook that we would use to practice math during summer vacation. This brought back lovely memories.

Hi Rajiv! Love your videos! As a professional hand bookbinder I give you kudos for doing this video and enlightening folks out there about bookbinding. I would like to make mention of the purpose of mull. Mull is the thing that makes a book structurally sound by actually attaching the text block to the boards, thus creating the strong hinge. Make sure to extend the mull beyond the spine on both sides by about 3/4" -1" so that the mull, hidden beneath the endpapers (and your marbling is gorgeous) will firmly attach to the boards and give you a hinge that will last for many decades of use without ripping. Thank you again for your terrific videos!

His unaffected humility and willingness to share his passions and skills is to be admired. Pomposity or aloofness would spoil all. He's a pleasure to know.

Rajiv Surendra brings this unusual demand upon himself to research, study, practice until he achieves perfection in each subject area. And then, at that level of superior achievement and with a focused passion, he takes it further, and begins sharing. This strong passion, and commitment to learn everything about the subjects that he shares with us-- his viewer/followers is a gift to all who watch, listen, and learn from him. I became fully aware of this gifted and kind man after watching while listening to him teach/share his indepth knowledge in a manner that is rare and exudes patience, giftedness, and kindness in each and every subject area. Rajiv Surendra, until the time that you're free to fully explore your abilities to inspire, teach, and share your learnings and gifts with other human beings; may you find many blessings, personal fulfillment, and much happiness for yourself along your way to stardom!

I love your teaching style. I’ve been interested in bookbinding for so long, this was fabulous. Watching you read your own book was very motivating. I also love how you say “let’s think about this”, and “what happens when I use three pages or four” That kind of talk helps me ask deeper questions about why I’m using the media in the way I’m using it, and helps me frame questions in my own mind that I can then research further. Thank you!

I am from India. I am 90's kid. While growing up, at the end of academic year, after we got the results, we would tear all the unused pages of the books and keep them ready for binding. My dad knew binding. He would bind all these pages together in to a nice book. He used to even make the gum out or rice. He taught me how to do this. When I grew up to teenage, I used to do this on my own. Later when I was doing engineering, we had to submit engineering drawing sheets for correction at the end of the semester. Many students used to take the sheets to a binder to get it in to book format and submit it. I on other hand, did the binding on my own sitting in my hostel room one day before the submission. Many of my friends were amazed and actually asked me to bind their sheets as well. I ended up doing more than 10 books over a night. This brought back so many memories.

I seriously love this guy! I honestly believe he can talk about absolutely anything and it will be intriguing. He does such a fabulous job explaining..super thorough. Also, INSANELY talented, so inspiring, etc..etc..etc..! I agree with many on here that he needs his own show. I'll surely be watching.

I wish I lived next door to you..I would be hanging out on your door stoop every day so I could come learn something new…(in a non-stalker kind of way). Please don’t stop making these fascinating videos…I am learning so much from you and I’m an old lady!

There have been NO one who I have been so inspired and impressed by within minutes except him! Also, I will try this. Will it look THAT good?!.... we"ll see (i don't think so)

Are you serious? As someone who does bookbinding, l was expecting a beginner’s guide to stick to something rather more basic before going on to more complex work in subsequent videos. But you obviously recognized that most people who want to learn bookbinding aren’t really interested in, or have a use for, most of those simpler projects. Your explanation and demonstration of the process is first class, and your teaching style is both engaging and humorous. I’m going to be on the lookout for more videos from you, as l’m sure this isn’t the only topic that you teach. Outstanding!

Rajiv is captivating, a great communicator and his videos are refreshing to watch! Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max... give this man his own show!

I am an Indian and in India probably 50%of people are suffering from art phobia or Do It Yourself Phobia. I am one of them.

But this video is just soo good I love how he describes every small details and failur of the boom binding which was taught at my school but i just gave up after 1failur.

I've watched this particular video 3 times. Just to watch him talk and his talent. Now I'm going back to his home video, for the 10th time. Now let him start his own show!

2 tips for making it easier to properly align & make holes: when I was taught book binding, to mark/make the holes, we would clamp the signatures (just as you would when you're glueing) so it has no chance to get wonky. And then we used a small saw to make a very undeep straight cut accross all the signatures. This has the advantage of creating a line + creating the hole (or if less expertly done, at least making the paper in that spot thin enough you can more easily poke through it with the needle or awl). Additionally, 2 layers are not really enough if you want to make a solid book, especially with thick signatures like that. Ideally, you would make enough passes so the dried layers of glue are a couple millimeters thick. The correct type of glue for bookbinding is flexible and will give a little, rather than crack. Remember, it is made to build up a spine so it can take a lot. EDIT: I realised that the thing with using the saw can be a bit tricky to execute, so use it with caution (and a very thin blade). An x-acto knife might also work but I haven't tried that.

Another thing with sawing the holes is that the paper that is pushed through comes out on the wrong side. Ideally you want to punch the needle from the inside out (contrary to the way Rajiv does in the video) so that the extra “pulp” gets glued down to the spine and so that glue doesn’t seep into the pages. This will not be a problem if you are just making a little book for yourself but in order to make a book that will last for hundreds of years this is the way you should do it:)
