    Review of The Book as Art, September 19, 2008

    Bonnie is an incredibly generous teacher. Not only does she teach a variety of book styles in this class, she will answer questions about anything, and she gives several resources where you can get more information. In this class, you will learn how to make accordian books, pop-up books, and more! But if there's a specific kind of book you want to learn about, make sure you let her know because she'll try to make time to show you.

    Review of Bonnie Thompson Norman, October 27, 2009

    Bonnie's patient, gentle methods of teaching make it easy for even people who have never done any book binding to produce a beautiful book and beautiful box to keep it in. We had a lot of fun in the class and everyone stay relaxed and helpful.
