To give a book a worthy binding is one of the most satisfying of crafts. Be=
yond the utility of a good binding, there is a great deal of aesthetic plea=
sure to be gained from a book that opens easily and flatly, and from the de=
coration, the harmony of colors, and the brilliance of gold. Arthur Johnson=
, one of Britain's foremost designer-bookbinders, has written a manual of t=
he craft whose clarity and comprehensiveness make it invaluable to the stud=
ent and the professional. It covers equipment, tools, and materials all sta=
ges of preparation (end papers, sewing, rounding and backing, edge-gilding,=
 etc.) different binding styles and the finer points of finishing. The illu=
strations show not only tools, materials, and processes, but also a selecti=
on of striking and beautiful examples of the binder's art, both historic an=
d modern.
