That is quite a thorough supply list for most bookbinders. The list is lacking a few things... I couldn't find any decent bookbinding needles or any good sources for binder's board, for example. Be sure to let us know if you have seen those things or any other essential bookbinding supplies on Etsy that should be in our list!

Great list! Thank you. I just added a few to my favorites!
nice post!
Such a great list! I often forget that you can get supplies on Etsy, but never would have thought that there was such a wide range of bookbinding supplies. Thanks so much for writing this!
Awesome! I did my share of hearting.
great list! thanks so much. i'm adding this post to my delicious.
mm, that list is delicious. why did it have to come to me on a day that i have money? so wrong! (^_^)
Wow! I had no idea there was so much available from our fellow Etsy sellers. Thanks for collating all this info - looking forward to checking out Etsy sellers who have Japanese paper (my latest favourite material).
When I stated putting this together, I didn't really expect to find as much as I did. Some of these shops were a surprise for me too! So I'm glad you all like this and hopefully it will be useful. I will try to keep it updated if I find more related shops.
This is great! I have not done any bookbinding a quite some time and I miss it. This is a great resource.
