First edition. With a foreword by Bernard Middleton. The first section of the book contains a well-illustrated manual devoted to craft bookbinding. The second section shows Miura's bindings reproduced in full color with blow-ups of some of the more important details. The color work is stunning. Appears to have small tape marks on front and back pastedowns. Presentation from Miura on half title.
