Excerpt from Notes on Bookbinding for Libraries
In the first edition of this book I said that it ought not to be taken as a final authority, but as a set of suggestions which I hoped would arouse interest in the subject of library binding and lead a few to pursue the' subject further. Some of the changes made for this edition indicate that I have followed the topic a little further myself, - I hope with advantage to my readers.
Several chapters are new. There are many minor changes and omissions. The lists have been enlarged and brought into one.
I had looked into the subject of library binding and discovered the ignorance concerning it of Amer ican librarians, including myself, before I visited Mr. Chivers' beautiful bindery in Bath, England, several years ago. That visit had much to do with the con tents of this little book. Mr. Chivers was quite of my opinion that the only way to induce librarians in America to improve our binding was to persuade us to look into the subject. If the book has led some to do this it has accomplished its purpose. As to the fundamental points in' it, they largely come, I am pleased to confess, from England, by way of that bindery in Bath.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of library bookbinding, a craft essential for preserving and maintaining collections. The author, a librarian himself, guides readers through the history and practice of bookbinding, emphasizing the importance of choosing durable materials and understanding the delicate balance between economy and quality. He explores the different methods of binding, from traditional hand-sewing to the newer machine-driven techniques, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. Beyond the technical aspects, the author also addresses the crucial role of literary knowledge in making sound binding decisions. He encourages librarians to consider the value of a book, its popularity, and its potential for long-term use when deciding whether to rebind or discard it. The author passionately argues against the prevailing practice of rebinding books in materials that will quickly deteriorate, advocating instead for durable options that will stand the test of time.
