Professional bookbinder Joseph W. Zaehnsdorf offers his
step-by-step guide on how to properly bind books, the materials
required, and the period styles to choose from - with more than 70
illustrations. Designed for beginners who hold no more than a
sparing knowledge of tool work, this guide offers a complete
demonstration on how to properly bind a book. Readers are taken
through the preparatory stages, through the acquisition of the
right equipment, to the practical elements of trimming, beating,
pasting and gluing binding to a book. A variety of period
patterning styles are shown, their origins ranging from the
Medieval/Renaissance period, to the Enlightenment and the modern
eras. Although written for amateurs, early editions of Zaehnsdorf's
guidebook met high demand among professional bookbinders and
hobbyists alike. The uniform high quality of his guidance, enhanced
by numerous practical pointers imbued by the decades the author
spent binding books, resulted in wide appreciation.
