Synopsis
Excerpt from A Syllabus of a Course on Elementary Bookmaking and Bookbinding
The lessons as presented illustrate all the principles and processes of bookbinding which may be successfully completed without special equipment.* Such work is necessarily limited, not in variety of models, but in accuracy of technique. One aim of such a course is to show the grade of work possible within these limitations. The problems as stated give the points to be illustrated, materials and measurements, and in each case a desirable method oi procedure. N O attempt has been made to describe the technique necessary for obtaining good results. This is dependent upon either the skill of the individual who wishes to use these outlines without further instruction; or upon the instruction received in class, individually or through demonstration.
The course has four divisions, i. E. Portfolio work, Bookmaking, Leather modeling and paring, the latter branch of the work being a very necessary feature in the make-up of leather articles. It has been found advisable to teach leather paring early in the year so that Odd moments may be utilized by the students.
