To give a book a worthy binding is one of the most satisfying of crafts. Beyond the utility of a good binding, there is a great deal of aesthetic pleasure to be gained from a book that opens easily and flatly, and from the decoration, the harmony of colors, and the brilliance of gold. Arthur Johnson, one of Britain's foremost designer-bookbinders, has written a manual of the craft whose clarity and comprehensiveness make it invaluable to the student and the professional. It covers equipment, tools, and materials; all stages of preparation (end papers, sewing, rounding and backing, edge-gilding, etc.); different binding styles; and the finer points of finishing. The illustrations show not only tools, materials, and processes, but also a selection of striking and beautiful examples of the binder's art, both historic and modern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337667604768,"sku":"USED0500680116","price":26.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61li0pkiTeL_8451aa12-04d1-4968-b8c8-011471d74fb5.jpg?v=1789083174","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-thames-and-hudson-manual-of-book-binding-thames-and-hudson-manuals-paperback-0500680116-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
