paper wrappers. 8vo. paper wrappers. 97 pages. First edition, 2nd printing. Fifty-two illustrations in color. From the preface by Julie Miller: We often speak of how a particular phenomenon has "reached a tipping point" - when knowledge and practice have developed in plain sight and then suddenly explodes on scene as a revolution in our thinking. Gary Frost's career with bookbinding, through his research, practice, and teaching, has been a series of such revolutions, and he has periodically named and defined how to evaluate and express the successive developments of the codex. The lynchpin in his work is ever the model - the why and how, generic, facsimile, or interpretive, material considerations and material compromises - all in the pursuit of an answer to these questions: What does the model tell us about book action in a given structure? What are the possibilities for adaptation? A Crafted Typology of the Codex is the summation of Frost's thinking, writing, and teaching on book action expressed though modelmaking . and it presents an exploration of codex chronology in both words and illustrations, and carries the ongoing discussion of the physical book into the electronic realm.

hardcover, dust jacket. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. hardcover, dust jacket. 368 pages. First edition. For over forty years, Anthony Hobson has occupied a commanding position in the world of books. Succeeding his father, G. D. Hobson, the great historian of bookbinding, as head of Sotheby's book department, he ran it for some twenty years with equal commercial skill and scholarly learning. Since then, he has established an independent reputation with a series of studies of bookbinding and the history of books generally concerning subjects in Renaissance Italy. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, a group of his friends decided to honor his achievements with a collection of essays. Twelve contributors have provided essays on bookbinding and the history of books. The subjects range from great collectors, like Grolier, Mahieu, and Anne de Montmorency, to bookbinding techniques and the book trade. In geographical scope there are essays on Ethiopic bookbinding, the Visconti Library at Milan, and British book collectors in Italy. The book has been edited by Dennis Rhodes who has also compiled a bibliography of Anthony Hobson's writings. This book is itself a notable contribution to the history of books, bookbinding, and the book trade. It celebrates the achievements of a life devoted to these subjects.
