Book binding 101

I am looking for a book on basic book binding, specifically, a "Jacob's Ladder" book, and am not sure where to go.

There are several sources on this topic that might be helpful.

One source is "Making Books That Fly, Fold, Wrap, Hide, Pop Up, Twist & Turn: Books for Kids to Make" by Gwen Diehn. There is an adaptation of Diehn's Jacob's Ladder book by a teacher, Helen A. Thompson. Other books that Gwen Diehn has authored, mostly on decorating books, are held in the library.

A second resource is The Essential Guide to Making Handmade Books by Gabrielle Fox.

A third book is Creating Handmade Books by Alisa Golden.
