This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to bookbinding, with instructions for leather and vellum binding, directions for gilding paper and book edges, and many useful recipes for sprinkling, colouring, and marbling. Originally intended for beginners and apprentices, this volume is ideal for the modern reader looking for an introduction to bookbinding. Contents include: "Folding", "Beating", "Sewing the Backs", "Sewing", "Glueing the Backs", "Boarding", "Backing", "Putting on the Boards", "Covering", "Sheep Binding", "Cutting the Fore-edge", "Rounding", "Cutting the Head and Foot", "Sprinkling", "Backing", "Putting on the Boards", "Covering", "End-papers, coloured linings, &c.", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on leather crafting.
