About This Book

The text traces the development of written records and bookmaking from prehistoric marks and palm-leaf manuscripts through rolls, medieval codices, and modern bindings, examining materials such as papyrus, vellum, and paper, and technical processes including sewing, rounding, watermarks, and printing. It surveys illustration techniques, leather varieties, decorative practices both blind and gold tooling, regional binding styles, and miscellaneous features like edges, headbands, and chained books, and includes illustrative plates and examples of notable bindings.
