상품 설명
A solid practical copy of The Thames and Hudson Manual of Bookbinding by Arthur W. Johnson — one of those proper craft-reference books that was made to be used, not just shelved.
This is not a flimsy beginner pamphlet. It is a substantial bookbinding manual covering the craft properly, with sections on equipment, materials, working procedures, finishing, boxes, design, glossary and index, plus diagrams and photographed examples throughout.
From the pages shown, it gets into the real nuts and bolts of the subject: adhesive binding, board paper, blind tooling, backing, catch stitch, glazing, headbands, bookbinding equipment, historical bindings, and construction methods.
A good copy for bookbinders, conservators, repairers, printmaking and paper-arts people, craft-book collectors, design students, or anyone interested in the physical making and repair of books.
Included separately with the book is a loose typed sheet headed “Student Notes – Bookbinding Classes, Bloomsbury Branch”, covering a honing procedure.
That is being sold as an accompanying piece of period workshop ephemera rather than as part of the published book itself, and it adds a nice bit of real classroom / bindery context to the lot.
Used vintage/reference-book condition. Please study the photos carefully for overall wear, page tone, marks, and presentation.
Sold as shown, including the separate loose notes sheet pictured.
