About This Book

A practical guide for librarians on selecting, caring for, and improving library bindings, offering recommendations to extend the life of books and reduce long‑term costs. It surveys the binding process, materials such as leather and paper, and methods for repair, rebinding, lettering, and handling pamphlets and periodicals. The text emphasizes early rebinding of frequently used volumes, buying durable bindings from sheets, and keeping careful records and statistics to evaluate results. Illustrations, lists of tools, makers, and technical terms accompany procedural advice and sample practices used in a municipal bindery to help librarians judge workmanship and organize binding programs.
