In-depth study connecting minute aspects of bookbinding
An impressive joint publishing project of the Bibliographical Society, The British Library, and Oak Knoll Press, Eloquent Witnesses: Bookbindings And Their History is a compilation of essays knowledgably edited by Mirjam M. Foot and "must" reading for all dedicated bibliophiles. A scattering of black-and-white illustrations and photographs and text printed on high-quality paper enhance this in-depth study connecting minute aspects of bookbinding history, including tool design, manufacture and supply, the relationship of the bookbinder to the rest of the book trade and much more. A scholarly treasure that explores the nuts and bolts of bookbinding through the ages in minute detail.
