Excerpt from The Art of Bookbinding: A Practical TreatiseHE first edition of this book was written for the use of amateurs, but I found that amongst the members Of the trade my little volume had a large sale, and in a short time the edition became exhausted. Repeated applications for the béok have induced me to issue this second edition. I have adhered to the arrangement of the first, but a great deal Of fresh matter has been added, which I trust will be found useful. Should any of my fellow-workmen find anything new to them I shall be satisfied, knowing that I have done my duty in spreading such knowledge as may contribute towards the advancement of the beautiful art of bookbinding.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
