Originally published in 1938, Arnett's Bibliopegia was one of the
first manuals of bookbinding to be published in Britain, and is
both more significant than the Cowie manual before it, and
illustrated. Bibliopegia appeared at a time of immense changes in
the structure of the trade which were brought about by the
introduction of new techniques and equipment, and this in turn was
precipitated by the rapid evolution of industry and society in
general. This book provides an interesting insight into early
nineteenth-century English binding practices.
