Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Bookbinding for Libraries In the first edition of this book I said that it ought not to be taken as a final authority, but as a set of suggestions which I hoped would arouse interest in the subject of library binding and lead a few to pursue the' subject further. Some of the changes made for this edition indicate that I have followed the topic a little further myself, - I hope with advantage to my readers. Several chapters are new. There are many minor changes and omissions. The lists have been enlarged and brought into one. I had looked into the subject of library binding and discovered the ignorance concerning it of Amer ican librarians, including myself, before I visited Mr. Chivers' beautiful bindery in Bath, England, several years ago. That visit had much to do with the con tents of this little book. Mr. Chivers was quite of my opinion that the only way to induce librarians in America to improve our binding was to persuade us to look into the subject. If the book has led some to do this it has accomplished its purpose. As to the fundamental points in' it, they largely come, I am pleased to confess, from England, by way of that bindery in Bath.

Download or read book Adventures in Bookbinding written by Jeannine Stein and published by Quarry Books. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each project in this book combines bookbinding with a specific craft such as quilting, jewelry making, or polymer clay, and offer levels of expertise: basic, novice, and expert. Illustrated step-by-step instructions and photographs demonstrate how to construct the cover pages, and a unique binding technique, easy enough for a beginner to master. Each project also features two other versions with the same binding geared to those with more or less experience. The novice version is for those who have no knowledge of the craft and want shortcuts, but love the look. For the quilter's book, for example, vintage quilt pieces become the covers so all that's needing in the binding. Or if you're interested in wool felting use an old sweater. This offers great opportunities for upcycling. The expert version is for those who have a great deal of knowledge and proficiency of a certain craft - the master art quilter, for example. For this version, an expert guest artist has created the cover and the author has created the binding. This offers yet another creative opportunity - the collaborative project. Since crafters often get involved with round-robins and other shared endeavors, this will show them yet another way to combine their skills. No other craft book offers the possibilities and challenges that Adventures in Bookbinding does. Readers will return to it again and again to find inspiration and ideas.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hand-Book of Taste in Book-Binding It would be foreign to the purpose of this little treatise, were I to detail the history, or to discuss the art of Bookbinding. My object is rather to speak of it as connected with taste; to point out the various anomalies that are most frequent in it, and to assist the book-collector in forming a correct judgment on such matters. So numerous are these incongruities, that to detail one half of them would be to tax too severely the indulgence of my readers.
