Default Book board?

Does anyone know where you can order precut squares of cardboard for making mini books?

Do you mean the accordion books and thing slike that? I used regular cardboard that comes in the designer paper packs. Not sure where anyone else gets theirs, but i do have to cut it myself.

Check your local printer's shop - ask them for 'chipboard' and you can tell them how thick/thin you want, and the size - they cut it for you. Shouldn't be very expensive at all...

This all depends on whether you want it to be archival or not. Davy board is the traditional bookbinders board and it is archival. You can find this at any art supply store. However, it is REALLY hard to cut. Otherwise, I would call my local stationary/office supply store. They often have access to a heavy weight cardstock that is archival. If you aren't worried about archival, simply use a cereal box.

This may sound funny, but since I recycle all of my cardboard I usually have a stack of carboard sitting around the house, so, I cut up cereal boxes, snack boxes, etc. They work great! The boxes are sturdy enough, but thin enough to be cut with a paper cutter.
