Sinopsis
Excerpt from Bookbinding as a Handwork Subject: Being a Full Explanation of How Books Can Be Bound With Simple Apparatus in a School Classroom
The aims of the book are to show in the first place how the meces sary apparatus may be simplified and made in school, at a cost not exceeding the reasonable allowances of most Education Committees, and, in the second place, so to arrange the operations, that the teacher may secure a fairly regular gradation of difficulty and complexity in sewing, covering with cloth, ornamentation, etc.
The problem of dealing with large classes in handwork is an important one, and a plan is outlined which will, it is hoped, help the teacher in managing this subject even with classes of sixty children. All the instructions, moreover, are put in as practical a form as possible.
This book is a result of the experience of one who has realised that the occupation has certain difficulties as a handwork subject, and who has made an attempt to Show how they may be overcome.

Excerpt from Bookbinding as a Handwork Subject: Being a Full Explanation of How Books Can Be Bound With Simple Apparatus in a School Classroom
As a firm believer in the educative power of handicraft, it is a true pleasure to find that Mr. Halliday has, in his Handbook of Bookbinding, supplied what, so far as I know, has been a real want.
He has not only written clearly and concisely, but he has admirably illustrated the instruction he gives. He has gone carefully into the prices of tools and materials, and has shown that the work of bookbinding can be graded for the various standards of children which may take up the occupation under their school-teacher's supervision.
It is a great matter that nearly all the apparatus can be made by the pupils themselves, and the interest of the processes is ensured by the appeal which the work makes not to one sense only but to many senses. It appeals to craft of hand. It appeals to the delight of the eye, and not least to the creative sense that is astonished at the result and the usefulness of its labour.
Last, but not least, the art of bookbinding is one that can be learned and practised by girls as well as by boys, and it will be found that, having once learned the rudiments, it is a pleasant fireside occupation for long evenings at home, which will materially add to the neatness and good order of the household, and save much expense at the same time. The child who has gone through this course will make its own Christmas cards, its own note-books, its own volumes of stories, and its own bindings for papers and magazines.
I heartily commend this little volume of practical help to teachers and scholars alike.
