Before the advent of modern mass-production methods, books were bound by hand to remarkably high standards of quality. Beautiful and durable, they appealed to book lovers who appreciated not only a book?s content but also the quality and craftsmanship of its binding. Unfortunately, the introduction of machine-binding methods, while making books widely available at reasonable prices, also largely curtailed the art and craft of making fine books by hand. This expert guide offers a solution. In its pages, craftspeople can learn the traditional methods of bookbinding and produce high-quality hand-bound books themselves. Thorough, detailed instructions, with over 270 helpful illustrations by the author, cover materials, tools, and equipment (including making your own); fundamental procedures and technical methods; rebinding an old book; making a slipcase, and other essentials. Also included are well-illustrated, step-by-step directions for eight binding projects: dust jacket; blank book, single signature; folio; blank book, four signatures; manuscript binding; music binding; and two more. Clearly written and easy to follow, this manual will be indispensable to those wishing to create high-quality handcrafted bindings themselves; it will also serve as a valuable reference for students and professionals in publishing and its allied trades. This manual is a practical, step-by-step guide to traditional hand bookbinding techniques, aimed at both hobbyists and professional binders. It begins with descriptions of materials and tools (including how to make or adapt your own binding equipment), then moves through fundamental operations such as folding, sewing, attaching covers, trimming, and casing in. The author also treats the rebinding of old books and the construction of slipcases. The second half of the book presents eight full projects, from relatively simple bindings (dust jacket, folio, blank book in one signature) to more elaborate bindings (four-signature books, manuscript binding, music binding, etc.). Each project is richly illustrated with clear drawings and diagrams (over 270), making the execution of procedures easier to follow. The text emphasizes clarity, durability, and quality of craftsmanship rather than shortcuts. Techniques such as tape sewing, partial bindings, full bindings, and more advanced refinements are explained. The book is organized so that the reader builds foundational skills before attempting more complex bindings; it can serve both as a learning manual and as a reference.
