You don't need a lot of expensive bookbinding equipment in order to make sophisticated and professional looking handmade books. Here's a look at some of the gear and bookbinding materials I use when I'm making books, and the links to some of those items.
Guillotine - paper cutter:
If you're tired of cutting bookboard by hand (particularly the thicker bookboard used for making boxes and slipcases) this inexpensive guillotine works wonderfully and is a real time and hand-saver. It also makes trimming your textblocks a snap.

Ikea glass shelves

These tempered glass shelves from amazon are a bit more expensive than the ones I bought from Ikea, but they are wide enough (14") to allow you to make some useful bookcloth without being too cumbersome. Having more than a couple shelves is useful so you can make lots of bookcloth at once. amzn.to/2Qzpy72
