Hand Bookbinding contains step-by-step descriptions of the traditional methods of fine binding, stressing quality workmanship and durability. Written in clear language and profusely illustrated with easy-to-follow line drawings and diagrams, the book demonstrates binding projects from simple folded folios to a four-signature book sewn with a thread.
Instruction is given on folding, sewing, making covers, and designing labels. Advanced techniques include tape sewing, three.quarter bindings, full bindings, saddle-sewn booklets, and scrapbooks with fillers. Actual binding examples are discussed in order that the techniques introduced are fully understood and serve to aid the reader.
This book is a useful adjunct to the training of designers, type setters, publishers or manufacturing personnel in publishing. It is designed to interest to amateur hobbyist as well as professional binders, and is equally helpful to craft teachers and camp instructors.
