Report of the Committee on Leather for Bookbinding: Edited for the Society of Arts and the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Leather for Bookbinding: Edited for the Society of Arts and the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers
The Report as originally published consisted of a summarised statement of the results arrived at by the two sub-committees, each of which had pre sented a Report to the General Committee. These Reports were published in the form of Appendices, it being considered better to treat them in this manner than to attempt an amalgamation of the two into a Single Report. In addition there was a short Appendix containing Hints to Owners and Keepers of Libraries, by the Cha1rman of the Committee (lord Cobham), and a fourth Appendix in which were reprinted the circular issued to Librarians and the replies obtained from them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves deeply into the deterioration of leather used in bookbinding, a topic which has attracted considerable attention from librarians and book collectors over the years. The author investigates the conditions leading to such decay and the comparative durability of various bookbinding leathers used at different periods. Following a meticulous analysis of samples from numerous libraries, the author concludes that the quality of modern binding leather has declined significantly since the mid-19th century.

It also explores the best conditions for preserving books and offers practical advice on binding techniques. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the preservation and care of books, making it an essential resource for librarians, bookbinders, and anyone interested in the longevity of bound volumes.
