Item description from seller

Trustees of the British Museum, 1970; cream paper covered boards, brick red cloth spine, titled gilt on both spine and front board; 95 x 167mm, pp32, two full page plates; copy in near fine condition. . . . The work is essentially technical in its approach and was written as an update to a previous pamphlet on the subject, the work stimulated by the recognition of the comparatively rapid but also somewhat haphazard deterioraton of modern leather book bindings compared with those of earlier periods. The author worked in the BM Research Laboratory and draws on his practical experience and study to show what effects different approaches and events have on the durability of leather bindings, useful information for both private and public owners.
