Do you know of any good resources on how to do a springback binding? Every time I’ve tried looking it up, I either get people who put sugar in their glue, or mentions in one obscure book on Google Books :/

Yup!

Peter Verheyen and Donia Conn have written up some great instructions for how to make a German-style springback. Check them out on the Book Arts web!

On that same site there’s also instructions for the English-style springback here.

I’ve made both types of springbacks, but it’s been so long I don’t really remember which style I enjoyed more. However, if Peter is reading this, it was definitely the German style. 😛
