About this Item

8vo, (212x145mm) xxvi,187p. 10 photolithograph plates & 51 wood engravings in the text, outer edges slightly dust-soiled. Original purple sand-grain cloth, lettered in gilt, covers slightly soiled, the backstrip faded and corner tips rubbed. (Mejer 1054) The first edition of Zaehnsdorf's classic manual on binding technique. Originally written for the growing band of late-Victorian amateur bookbinders this text enjoyed a considerable sale among professional trade binders, so much so that their needs were recognized in the second edition of 1890, which contained additional material on trade practices.

Store Description

We are located some 20 minutes drive from the M6, Junction 38 and therefore only a 20 mile detour from the main England-Scotland route. Appleby is a town well worth a visit, the coffee pot is always on though refreshment with �a little more authority' can be had if the Crown & Cushion in the town's market square is open! Our Bookroom is open by appointment. We will be happy to send pdf copies of our catalogue by email.
