Zaehnsdorf, Joseph W. "THE ART OF BOOKBINDING. A PRACTICAL TREATISE"
London; George Bell and Sons: 1890. A standard work, first published in
1880, by one of the world’s most famous modern bookbinders. The first
edition had been aimed at amateurs, but there was enough trade interest
for the later editions to be completely updated and enlarged, and this
edition not only includes nuts and bolts instructions for all the
operations of hand bookbinding, but also illustrates and describes many of
the machines used for professional work. You can’t find a much more
authoritative writer on bookbinding than Joseph Zaehnsdorf. Hardcover.
5”x7”, xix + 190 pages, with line illustrations in the text plus 8 plates,
1 tinted; + 13 pages of advertisements for machinery, etc., and a 24-page
list of the publisher’s books; publisher’s brown cloth with black and gilt
title and rules; covers rubbed, and a bit worn; hinges loose. [30340]
