Bookbinding by hand may look simple if you have the correct equipment, and it is. But you do not want to make any mistakes in your favorite book. Laurence Town shows how this is done for the Student and Craftsman alike. There are 296 pages, including the standard table of contents, bibliography, and index. An added plus is a foldout chart showing the numerical order sequence of the operations in each of the commoner styles of bookbinding and the pages in which these processes are described. There are no photographs, however, there are sketches of the operations.
