Bookbinding, a Guide to the Literature

It begins with reference works and continues with such topics as bookbinding design, materials, machines, and tools, decoration, a chronological history, history by individual countries, care and repair of bindings. Checklists of titles are included for libraries that may wish to improve their collection. An alphabetical list of some 550 binders, art designers, and decorators provides brief biographical information and augments those names in the bibliography itself.'' Journal of Academic LibrarianshipBrenni, Vito J. is the author of 'Bookbinding, a Guide to the Literature' with ISBN 9780313237188 and ISBN 0313237182.
