Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Text in English. 216 pp. In a slipcase. Minor wear to the case. My World of Bibliophile Binding is written for anyone who loves beautiful books. It is for the book collector as well as the bookbinder. Kerstin Tini Miura has spent many years studying under the great masters of bookbinding in Europe and is herself a master bookbinder. She describes in exquisite detail the techniques she utilizes in her craft, and it is clear from her descriptions that it is a labor of great love. She shows how much time, experience, dedication, and hard physical work is hidden under the leather covers of a beautifully bound book- a book that feels just right when it is held fondly in a booklover's hands. Miura documents the French technique of bookbinding, a technique that is highly respected by bookbinders throughout the world. She explains the process of doing a full leather binding, utilizing a step-by-step approach that is amply supplemented with drawings and illustrations so that even the novice bookbinder will be able to understand each procedure. Indeed, Miura's instructions are so clear that the reader may feel he or she is looking over the shoulder of a master bookbinder at work. This is crucial, as many aspects of the French technique have never been documented before but have only been passed down from teacher to student. Miura's work will also be most informative to even the most experienced bookbinder who has not had the opportunity to study under French teachers. The bibliophile bindings that Miura describes are not done for ordinary editions one can buy in any bookstore but are mainly for limited editions. The texts of such books generally belong to the finest works of world literature and are beautifully typeset by hand, printed on handmade paper, and often illustrated by famous artists. It is only these treasures that justify such a time-consuming, costly method of binding. To have a binding done on such a book, with a design that lets one feel the book's contents, gives great pleasure to the booklover. And the protection of a text block with a durable leather binding ensures that the book will survive for centuries. My World of Bibliophile Binding includes many excellent color plates showing selections from Miura's own bindings, which further attest to her great knowledge and artistry as a bookbinder. The book as a whole exemplifies one person's quest to seek perfection, excellence, and enduring beauty in a world that often does not hold these values high. In the present age of mass production and mechanization, the art of bookbinding at times appears lost. This might be true if it were not for a large number of bibliophiles who still derive immense pleasure from handling a beautifully bound book. Seller Inventory # 3974
