First Edition (so stated, but actually an updated and expanded edition). Foreword by Dr. Marianne Tidcombe. After his apprenticeship at the British Museum Bindery (1940-1948), the author managed the famed Zaehnsdorff's bindery before opening his own bookbinding establishment. Bibliography. Beautifully illustrated with many full color binding photos. Bound in the original gilt-stamped brown cloth. From the dust jacket: "This is the autobiography of one of the world's leading book restorers, binding scholars, and international lecturers on book conservation and binding. It is also the very warm story of a gangly teenager's rise from his first position at the British Library's bindery to the pinnacle of his craft. This important work is not only this gifted craftsman's personal story - in RECOLLECTIONS the reader is treated to a unique insight into Britain's strict trade school; and indentured apprenticeship of the early first half of the 20th century. Originally published as a fine press book by Henry Morris on his renowned Bird & Bull Press, this edition has an expanded text with many additional historical illustrations. This edition also features forty-six colour and forty-six black and white photographs of Bernard Middleton's finest binding designs." 7.25" wide by 10.25" tall. First Edition (so stated). Hardcover.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 4to (28.5 cm), front. printed in color, XII, 407 pp. Publisher's brown cloth, housed in a slipcase. T.J. Cobden-Sanderson (1840-1922) was a dynamic organizer and effective publicist of the Arts and Crafts Movement, a term he coined. Among all the arts and crafts, he was most engaged in those associated with his vision of the Book Beautiful: calligraphy, typography, and bookbinding. He completed his first binding on 21 July 1884, a work heralded by G. D. Hobson as the first modern binding. To commemorate the 100th anniversary, the British Library published Cobden-Sanderson's Time Book, in which he meticulously recorded details of his bindings created from 1884 to 1893, before he established the Doves Bindery. Of the total 169 bindings, over half have been located, examined, and photographed. The catalog is prefaced by a biographical introduction. The appendixes include Cobden-Sanderson's designs unrelated to bindings, a list of his tools and tool designs, and a catalog of major exhibitions featuring Cobden-Sanderson bindings.

Book First Edition
cloth, dust jacket. Doves Press (illustrator). small 4to. cloth, dust jacket. 272 pages. First edition. Fine in near fine jacket. This highly-researched work is the most authoritative account of the first and most famous private press of the 20th century - The Doves Press. Starting its operation in the wake of William Morris, the Doves Press became a major influence in the development of modern book design. Marianne Tidcombe reveals the intriguing story of the cutting of the famous Doves Type, the printing of Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and The English Bible. Also included is the saga of Cobden-Sanderson's short and stormy partnership with Emery Walker. Recounted in detail, this blusterous relationship ultimately lead to a final episode where Cobden-Sanderson throws the Doves type into the River Thames to prevent it from falling into Walker's hands after his death. A detailed, descriptive bibliography of all the books and papers printed at the Doves Press along with a list of all ephemeral items is provided. Richly illustrated with 18 color and 124 black-and-white illustrations. Marianne Tidcombe has spent over thirty years researching the Doves Press. She is also the author of Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 (Oak Knoll Press 1996).

(11 1/8 x 8 1/2"). xii, 407 pp. UNUSUAL COCOA-BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO, CUT, ONLAID, AND GILT, BY SALLY LOU SMITH (signed with her blind-stamped initials in rear doublure design), covers with a row of trapezoids of varying sizes cut out of the leather to reveal terra cotta-colored morocco underneath, then onlaid with a smaller version of the trapezoid tooled with flowers, leaves, and repeated round brackets, smooth spine with similar trapezoid cut-outs and onlays at head and foot, the onlay at the head lettered with Cobden-Sanderson's name, that at the foot with the author's, TERRA COTTA-COLORED MOROCCO DOUBLURES, with the same rows of trapezoids tooled in blind at head and foot, free endpapers and flyleaves of handmade paper, all edges gilt. In the matching brown morocco-backed cloth clamshell box. With color frontispiece photo-reproduction of a Cobden-Sanderson binding, and numerous black & white illustrations throughout, many of them full-page reproductions of a binding or hand-drawn pattern. â As new. This definitive work on the bookbindings that Doves Bindery founder Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson created with his own hands was bound by distinguished modern binder Sally Lou Smith (1925-2007). Born in the United States, Smith spent several years in France, then settled in 1958 in London. There, she spent four and a half years learning bookbinding under John Corderoy at Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts before beginning to work out of her own bindery in 1963. Her work has been widely honored both in her early days (she won the bookbinding award given by Major J. R. Abbey in 1965) and for many years since (among others, she won three Thomas Harrison Competition prizes). In the catalogue for the "Modern British Bookbinding" exhibit held in Brussels and The Hague in 1985, five of the 50 bindings pictured were executed by Smith, who is listed in the catalogue as one of the 20 Fellows of Designer Bookbinders, the principal bookbinding society in Great Britain. She served as president of that society and was a greatly respected teacher of bookbinding. A comprehensive survey of her work appeared in "The New Bookbinder" no. 21 (2001). Dr. Marianne Tidcombe is a bookbinding historian and an authority on the work of Cobden-Sanderson. The text here includes a biographical introduction and a detailed account of Cobden-Sanderson's work from 1884-93, based on the binder's record-keeping in his "Time Book," now in the collection of the British Library.
