Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

London: The Holland Press, 1988. A gorgeous, pristine copy in PERFECT condition. Brand New in a Brand New color-printed dust jacket. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Crisp and unmarked. Obviously never read. Foreword by Howard M. Nixon. 1988. Updated edition of a classic bookbinding reference. Illustrated with a full-color frontispiece, line drawings and historical engravings in the text, and 11 b/w plates (photos of bindings) on glossy paper at the end. This Third Supplemented Edition has a new introduction by the author that discusses recent discoveries in bookbinding history, including some in America. Important new scholarship is cited, some of it from issues of THE NEW BOOKBINDER. An attractive dust jacket, illustrated with full-color reproductions of 10 different marbled papers, has also been added for this new edition. Among the topics addressed are materials, folding, beating and pressing, sewing endpapers, gluing the spine, rounding and backing, boards and their attachment, edge-trimming and decoration, headbands, linings, finishing, pasting down, equipment, book repairs and restoration, causes and prevention of leather rot/decay, 19th century working conditions in the bookbinding trade, growth of binderies, book-edge gilding as a specialization, the influence of the Arts & Crafts movement on binding styles, etc. Bound in the original black boards, stamped in shiny gold. From the pristine dust jacket: "In impressive and fascinating detail, this comprehensive guide by a recognized authority charts the course of English bookbinding from its beginnings to the present day. Covering both the decorative and the commercial aspects of the craft, it presents a wealth of historical and technical data in an admirably organized and digestible form." GoodReads rating: 4.17 stars. Third Supplemented Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. 8vo. xvi, 326pp. + 11 plates [353 total pages]. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Descrizione dello Store

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
