Cloth, cover illustration, folio, 208 pp, numerous ills (some colour). From the blurb: "Bookbinding in its highest form is a creative art, and though there have been many books dealing with the subject at the 'practical craft' level, this is the first to deal in depth with the art of bookbinding. Philip Smith is a bookbinder of international repute, and his book opens new vistas for the practical bookbinder who wishes to extend his work into hitherto unexplored realms. Endless creative possibilities are at the bookbinder's disposal, and Philip Smith has experimented with new and evocative finishes that appeal both to the visual and tactile senses. His sections on feathered onlays, maril, and the book wall are particularly exciting. As well as developing his creative ideas, Philip Smith draws upon the extensive knowledge of conservation techniques of Roger Powell and also Tony Cains, who did so much for the National Library in Florence after the disastrous flooding a few years ago. New Directions in Bookbinding is, indeed, a pioneering work. It presents bookbinding as an exciting 'canvas' for the creative artist working in other media, as well as encouraging the practising bookbinder to a more creative attitude to his craft. Librarians, book collectors, and bibliophiles will also find it of tremendous value and interest." Half-title and last two leaves foxed, some other occasional spotting to text, spottting to top and fore-edges, otherwise Good in a slightly used dustwrapper.
