Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This manual is a practical guide to both hand and machine bookbinding with a focus on library bookbinding and the importance of good workmanship and quality materials. The author distinguishes between commercial binding, which is produced almost entirely by machinery, and library binding, which requires great care and attention to detail. For library bookbinding, an understanding of the history and principles of papermaking is essential. An overview of the book's suggested tender and specification for library binding is discussed, with special attention to the different recordkeeping systems and checks needed for smooth workflow and efficient book handling. The author includes sections on home binderies and book repairing, concluding with general information, recipes, and a helpful glossary of terms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
