TALAS for NYC book makers

For bookmaking tools, visit TALAS at 20 West 20th Street and http://talasonline.com. They have bone folders, binding thread, awls, and all that (though for paper, you're better off visiting Jam Paper on 3rd Avenue). The customer service is spotty, but it's a NYC institution, and you'll leave equipped to soldier on, as I did on my Cheer-Up Book of Wounded Soldiers (plug: http://thecheer-upbook.blogspot.com).
