Item description from seller

Charlottesville: Books Rats Press, 1998. Small 8vo, 48pp, illustrated and with an actual sample of (red) cloth. Original brown wrappers, white printed paper label on upper cover. As new. § "An Exhibition from the Collection of Calvin P. Otto on Display in the Rotunda of the University of Virginia. Near fine. Most of the design effort for the exteriors of trade books now goes into dust jackets or wrappers, but in the 19th century publisher's cloth was a new medium with aesthetic possibilities: special grains and textures, blind-, gilt- and color-stamping, elaborate typography and other design experiments, pictorial printing, onlays, and the like. This is not a list of individual artifacts, but a brief introduction to this type of binding (with 19 illustrations and one binder's cloth sample) with emphasis on the development of styles. Glossary." (Oak Knoll).
