Why can’t I just cut up the pages of the book?
Well why indeed, HOWEVER… the practice sheets and templates at the back of the book printed back to back and designed to photocopy onto A4 paper and not cut out of the book (it is after all a written guide and not a template book) so I would recommend adding the print outs so you have them ready to cut when your lovely papercutting book arrives.
