Download or read book Finishing in Hand Bookbinding written by Peter Fahey and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The many excellent books on hand bookbinding that have been published are a help and inspiration to the beginner as well as the experienced craftsman. However, we feel that the operations of finishing should be explained in greater detail. No books or articles on hand finishing have been issued in recent years, giving in detail the trend of design, with the best methods and materials of craftsmanship. Very few modem designs have been illustrated or explained in treatises on binding and generally period decorations only are shown. This book is planned to overcome that lack. Each country has its distinct style and methods of hand binding. These differences in tooling and general finishing procedure are incorporated in the text of this book. The best method for the individual binding in hand may be chosen for the quickest, easiest, and best result. No historical development of cover design is given as such is obtainable in most volumes on binding. This book concentrates on actual operation and procedures of hand tooling. The chapter on design has to do with modern conception and treatment. The term "finishing" is applied to all work done after the book has been forwarded. The finisher must decide what lettering and decoration are to be put on the book. This includes tooling of the patterns in blind or with metal, onlay and inlay work, polishing and varnishing. The process of finishing is the means by which designs are put upon covers to echo the spirit of the story and what the binder thinks will further express that spirit.
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.
