Book binding

I've been looking at a number of resources I can use to produce a handmade book. I have never made a book before so the first thing I need to do is find resources or guidebooks.  
Amazon.co.uk is always my first port of call for books and I have found a few books that I am going to purchase...

Bookcraft: Techniques for Binding, Folding, and Decorating to Create Books and More

Using these new books I can begin practising and make some prototype books to show to the client. Other sources of information on book making and binding I have looked at include online videos that use step by step instructions.

I feel it is very important for me to begin experiment with book binding at an early stage as the process of hand making a book will be time consuming.

I'm very exciting about starting to experiment and begin making some prototype books but another thing I need to consider is sourcing materials, i.e. papers and card, and most importantly finding these materials from a sustainable or recycled source. But for the time begin I will experiment with paper I already have to save on costs and then invest in recycled materials.
My next step will to research paper and card sources and email the client with my ideas to gain feedback to make decisions on materials.
