Overview

Bookbindings Old and New is a vintage book concerning bookbinding and the Grolier Club, a club and for bibliophiles in New York City founded in January 1884. 'Bookbinding' refers to the process of physically assembling a book using ordered paper sheets which are folded together into sections or left as a stack of individual sheets. This is then bound together along one edge by either sewing or using a flexible adhesive. This volume will appeal to book lovers with an interest in binding, as well as those with an interest in the famous Grolier Club in particular. Contents include: Grolier and the Renascence , De Thou and 'Le Gascon' , Padeloup and Derome , Bookbindings of the Present , The Technic of the Craft , The Binders of Today , The Outlook for the Future , The Antiquity of Edition Binding , The Search for Novelty , Stamped Leather , The Summer Clothes of Fiction , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of bookbinding.
