Cloth, 4to, 29 cm, 117 pp. From the blurb - "As early as 1890, the revival of interest in the book arts flourished and gained many proponents throughout North America. From the appearance each year of books from the studios and workshops of professional and non- professional book workers, the continuation of interest in this form of fine hand craftsmanship and artistry remains today self-evident. The Directory of American Book Workers (DABW) is intended as a catalyst to the perpetuation of these arts and crafts by providing an aid to communications among book workers, librarians, booksellers, collectors, scholars and all others interested in fine hand book-making. Composed of ten separate cross-referenced sections followed by an Index of Personal and Business Names, the DABW contains, within a Directory section, eight field sections and a Geographic section, information on bookbinders, calligraphers, book illustrators, marblers, paper- makers, printers, typographers, conservators and restorers. This unique reference work provides a single source for information on 1248 book workers active in various fields of the book arts.
