An overview of the book's suggested tender and specification for library binding is discussed, with special attention to the different recordkeeping systems and checks needed for smooth workflow and efficient book handling. The author includes sections on home binderies and book repairing, concluding with general information, recipes, and a helpful glossary of terms.
