My sister Jodie introduced me to bookbinding a couple years ago, and I've really enjoyed it since then. Recently, I picked up a copy of Keith Smith's Bookbinding for Book Artists ($39), and would highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in making their own books. It is a most excellent resource that will get you making books without the need for any special or expensive equipment.
