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.
Originally published in 1880 this early work on book binding is a
comprehensive and informative look at the subject. The contents are
extensively illustrated, The information on book binding makes for
absorbing reading throughout. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions,
using the original artwork and text.
