4to (28.5 cm), 352 pp. Half dark crimson morocco, cream cloth boards, spine gilt in compartments with title, volume number, and author (cloth slightly discolored).

This first volume, authored by Mirjam Foot of the British Library, presents a series of detailed studies of bindings that had previously received little or no systematic scholarly attention. The material is organised geographically, with sections devoted to Great Britain, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and Italy. The volume includes twenty-five focused studies of individual binders and workshops, among them Roger Payne, Thomas Wotton's binders, Claude de Picques, the Pecking Crow Binder, the Geneva Kings' Binder, the Borghese and Rospigliosi workshops, and the binder of the MacDurnan Gospels.
