Charles John Lyttelton, 10th Viscount Cobham, KG, GCMG, GCVO, TD, PC, DL (8 August 1909 - 20 March 1977) was the ninth Governor-General of New Zealand and an English cricketer from the Lyttelton family. Cobham became the ninth Governor-General of New Zealand on 5 September 1957. Although from an aristocratic background, he proved popular. He was seen as an outdoors man with a sporting prowess in cricket, and golf, and a competent rugby judge. He was good with a gun and an enthusiastic fly fisherman, all attributes that resonated well with New Zealanders. Significant events during his tenure included the independence of Western Samoa and the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Lyttelton enjoyed a career in first-class cricket, playing more than 90 times for Worcestershire in the 1930s and captaining the club between 1936 and 1939. Ref KKK 2.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves deeply into the deterioration of leather used in bookbinding, a topic which has attracted considerable attention from librarians and book collectors over the years. The author investigates the conditions leading to such decay and the comparative durability of various bookbinding leathers used at different periods. Following a meticulous analysis of samples from numerous libraries, the author concludes that the quality of modern binding leather has declined significantly since the mid-19th century. The book examines the causes of this deterioration, finding fault with modern binding practices and the use of certain tanning methods and materials. It also explores the best conditions for preserving books and offers practical advice on binding techniques. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the preservation and care of books, making it an essential resource for librarians, bookbinders, and anyone interested in the longevity of bound volumes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
