The binding designed and executed by Scott Kellar in 1988 and was exhibited at the Caxton Club, Chicago in 1988. A master of traditional fine bookbinding, Scott Kellar has been working intimately with books for over 40 years. Introduced to bookbinding as a hobby in 1972, his commitment to the craft was immediate. While pursuing a career in book conservation, Scott’s love of books expanded into the realm of design binding, where the art of the binder becomes integral to the book, adding yet another layer of imagery and interpretation to the work of the author. As a result, his artistic works have been featured in book art exhibition venues local, national and international. Awards won include the ‘Coup De Coeur’ award at the Biennale Mondiale de la Reliure D’Art, The Society of Bookbinders Award for Forwarding and the Fine Binding J. Hewit & Sons Ltd. Award. His studio in located in Chicago where he also teaches to share both his skills and vision. Published by the Caxton Club, Chicago in 1985 with a limitation of 1000 copies, the book is a celebration of the life and accomplishments of one of the most influential graphic designers of the twentieth century, Robert Hunter Middleton. Bruce Beck in his preface writes, “Robert Hunter Middleton was a modest man … In looking back over the long calendar of his life, I am struck by the fact that he has been involved in almost every major event, every new idea, that has affected the practice of graphic design during the past fifty years.”.…
