JOHN PAAS & JAMES COOK, PROVINCIAL BOOKBINDING IN THE EIG... by Docker, Frances First edition, one of the 25 special copies in leather of the total of 200 numbered copies. Relates the story of the murder of the binding tool producer, John Paas, by the bookbinder, James Cook. Because of the notoriety of the case, the newspaper and some pamphlets were given out showing plates of the binding premise, etc. Some of these illustrations are reproduced in this book thus giving us an excellent idea of what an English 19th century bindery looked like. Another nice effort by the Plough Press of Geoffrey Wakeman.
