London Studio Vista; New York Watson-Guptill [Published Date: 1967]. Hardcover, 104 pp. No other printings listed. In acceptable condition / no dust jacket. Pictorial paper over boards have 2" tears to the paper along the hinges of the top of the spine. Light overall scuffing, aging and soiling to covers as well. Binding is solid. A few pages have some underlining and margin notes in ink. A solid reading copy. Not Ex-library. [From back cover] Binding or rebinding books to one's own design can be a fascinating hobby. This book is a guide for the complete beginner, and explains all you need to know to produce attractive bindings. Starting with sheets of paper and carrying right through to the final lettering and decoration, there are step-by-step instructions on how to carry out the various processes. There are sections on rebinding sewn and unsewn books, binding pamphlets, repairing torn pages and cloth covers, and simple leather binding. There are suggestions for the use of unusual materials and decorations, and the descriptions of standard tools and equipment include substitutes and improvisations to help avoid expense. The many helpful line drawings and photographs, and the 4 pages of full colour, will whet the beginner's appetite.
