Description:
Thai massage is a sacred form of bodywork widely practiced in Thailand today. For centuries it was done in Thai temples and homes.

Bookbinding - A traditional technique | 699.30 MB Type Do it Yourself
Honestly, I think you can pretty much make a hardcover book with success after watching Larry Withers's Bookbinding: A Traditional Technique. This is almost as good as an interactive workshop that you'll get — except this will cost you less than $20! And you can even pause and rewind to repeat a step! Larry won’t get annoyed with you if you keep “asking” him to repeat the last step.
The instructional video covers the required materials, folding, sewing, creating the cover, and casing-in for creating a flat-back hardcover book. Each step is shot with clarity (with close-ups) and repetition that you can really see how he maneuvers the threads and paper. Withers has a very soothing voice, he explains and guides you through steps with patience. I find that his style very much keeps me focus on each and every step of the instructions.
