Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 12mo (19.5 cm), 318, [2], 23 pp, 12 plates, 7 leaves of marbled paper. Publisher's blind-stamped cloth, gilt-lettered title on spine (cloth slightly chipped at the head of the spine, rubbed at the foot and corners, bookplate on front end-paper, internally fresh and bright). Stereotype edition of the first edition published in 1856. A classic American manual of practical bookbinding, providing one of the most comprehensive nineteenth-century English-language treatments of the binder's craft. The work offers detailed instruction in every major branch of the trade, from the preparation and sewing of sheets through forwarding, edge decoration, covering, finishing, and restoration. Based on the structure of John Andrews Arnett's Bibliopegia and drawing upon contemporary European and American sources including Cundall's Ornamental Art, Woolnough's Art of Marbling, Leighton's Suggestions in Design, and the London Friendly Finishers' Circulars, Nicholson adapted established European practice for the needs of American craftsmen. The volume is arranged in three principal parts: Sheet-Work; Forwarding, including edges, marbling, gilding, covering, half-binding, blank binding, boarding, and cloth-work; and Ornamental Art, covering design, finishing, gold tooling, illuminated bindings, blind tooling, antique styles, colouring, inlaid ornaments, harmony of colours, press-work, and the repair and restoration of old bindings. The concluding sections include practical advice for collectors and an extensive glossary of technical terms. Illustrated with twelve plates and seven examples of marbled paper, the manual is particularly valuable for its detailed discussions of marbling techniques, gilding, decorative tooling, and the preservation of historic bindings. Long regarded as a standard reference for American hand bookbinders and finishers, it remains an important source for the history of nineteenth-century book production, decorative binding, and the practical traditions of the craft.…

Hard Cover. Condition: near Very Good binding. Octavo. 318, [2], 32 (ads) pp., frontis, plates, specimens, illus. Third edition. As issued, in embossed cloth. An exceptionally bright binding, alas, this is an ex-library copy with bookplates removed from the front pastedown, front free endpaper removed; several instances of an early Vermont library pressure stamp to the preliminaries and the publisher's catalog at the rear; otherwise, clean and bright throughout. Originally issued in 1856, this is often cited as the first American bookbinding manual, despite it having been largely compiled from English sources. Nevertheless, it is the first such manual. The first edition frequently reprinted in the subsequent decades. Illustrated throughout, it includes a frontispiece and 9 other tipped in plates of decorative motifs (this copy is lacking 2 of the plates). Additionally, there are 7 specimens of marbled papers included, all present. A remarkable book in the history of bookbinding.…

Later cloth, leather spine-labels laid down, 8vo, top edge dark green, 19 cm, 318 pp, seven specimen sheets of marbled paper (probably marbled by Charles Williams of Philadelphia), 12 plates, text-figures. Publisher's catalogue (24 pp, undated) at end of Sidney F. Huttner best describes the nature of Nicholson's book in his introduction to a Garland Press reprint of the first edition: "Although cited as the first American manual on bookbinding, A Manual of the Art of Bookbinding was not written in quite the way one might expect; James Bartram Nicholson assembled it, with modest additions, from English sources. Large parts of his "Sketch of the Progress of Bookbinding" are taken word for word from Joseph Cundall, On Ornamental Art, Applied to Ancient and Modern Bookbinding (London, 1848), a work which also supplies Nicholson's fourth and seventh plates. The technical description of bookbinding procedures is transferred, differently arranged but largely without textual change, from "John Andrews Arnett" (i.e., John Hannett), Bibliopegia, or the Art of Bookbinding in all its Branches (London, Edinburgh, Dublin and New York, 1836; first edition, 1835). The section on marbling comes directly from Charles W. Woolnough, The Whole Art of Marbling (London, 1853). Little (one is tempted to say, if any) of Nicholson's text came first from his own pen. [In fact].Nicholson's borrowing is. selective and discriminating. He does not reprint whole works; he omits words or phrases from time to time, edits judiciously, and eliminates mention of specific English practice in favor of a general phrase or an American practice." A little scattered minor foxing, otherwise Good.…

8vo (18.6 x 12.5 cm). 318, [1, 18 ads] pages. 12 plates, including frontispiece (some offsetting), six (of seven) original marbled paper specimens. Original black blind-blocked cloth, gilt-lettered on spine (rebacked preserving the original spine panel, restored by Laura S. Young). In a cloth folding case. Provenance: William H. Payne (signature on front free endpaper, bookplate). The section on marbling (pp. 82-103) reprints the entire text of Charles Woolnough's manual of 1853. The marbled specimens were executed by Charles Williams of Philadelphia. The signature appears to be that of the American educator William H. Payne (1836-1907), known as the first university professor of pedagogy in the United States. He also translated works from French, including Rousseau's EMILE, OR ON EDUCATION. Appleton 83; Brenni no. 39; Mejer 1950. A very good plus copy, some scattered foxing, lacking the final specimen of marbled paper after p. 114. First edition of the first American bookbinding manual.…
