Examples of The Art of Book-Binding

Examples of the Art of Book-binding by Bernard Quaritch. - (1897). - 158 pages The interest which is now taken in fine and historio bindings has led to the production of many elaborate and costly works on the subject. Among them, one of the most important is the illustrated Catalogue of the Exhibition which took place a few years ago at the Burlington Fine Arts Club. There are other works which deal with special departments, or which give selections of coloured facsimiles, but the Burlington F. A.  Club's Catalogue is the only one which deals with the whole field of artistic and historical Bookbinding. It may be claimed, without much presumption, that the present Catalogue (although illustrated only in its Large Paper issue) is the only bookseller's list that can be regarded as a parallel to the Club book. It comprises over eight hundred purchasedble examples of bookbinding, chosen either for the beauty (or some other peculiar characteristic) of their coverings, or as furnishing tokens of having belonged to celebrated men and women in the past.  USD14.49 [Reprinted, Paperback]
