"One of Canada's foremost design bookbinders, Pierre Ouvrard has prepared more than five hundred beautiful, unique bindings over his fifty-year career." "Design binding is an unusual branch of the book arts, blending craftsmanship, artistry, and literary sensitivity. In Ouvrard's hands, the book becomes a work of art as fine as any painting. This volume features more than three hundred of his best creations, including the sumptuous Governor General's Literary Award collection.".
"The introductory essays, presented here in both English and French, provide a context for appreciating this versatile artist. Author and rare-book dealer Alfred Van Peteghem introduces Ouvrard as colleague and friend. Art critic Normand Biron explains the history of design binding and Ouvrard's special place in it. And Ouvrard himself reflects on the satisfactions of a life of binding.".
"A book for bibliophiles, collectors, and anyone who appreciates fine art, Pierre Ouvrard showcases the work of a Canadian master."--BOOK JACKET.
