Excerpt from Bookbinding and Its Auxiliary Branches, Vol. 4: In Four Parts

It is not laudation of any trade to say that it follows in a beaten path when there is no reason therefor except that methods of procedure are habitual. That the present-day craftsman leaves too much to precedent and habit, and does not exercise enough his power of initia tive, is demonstrated clearly by experience in bookbind ing. To improve ought to be the constant aim; to do this, the continuation of steadfast methods and styles must be merited by sufficient reasons.
