BOOKBINDERS AT WORK: THEIR ROLES AND METHODS
Foot, Mirjam M.
First edition. The role of the bookbinder in the production of saleable books and the significance of the binding in all its details, both structural and decorative, have often been disregarded or marginalised by bibliographers. In this book, Dr. Mirjam Foot sets out to reverse the trend by establishing working binders, and their materials and tools as an essential part of the production cycle. She reveals the inadequacy of bibliographical descriptions that lack essential binding information.

MISCELLANY 2. A NEW COLLECTION OF WORK COMPLETED OR PROJE...
by Carter, Sebastian
Limited to 225 numbered copies of which this is one of the 20 lettered copies bound thus and with the Clare Melinsky and Simon Brett illustrations signed by the artists, and the printer's Swan House drawing coloured by hand and signed. A beautifully executed private press miscellany issued a decade after their initial Miscellany. It presents samples of completed, projected, and at times purely whimsical work by the press with a strong emphasis on experimental typography. Many items are printed in various colors on a variety of papers. Includes a check-list of the work of this press operated by Will and Sebastian Carter that supplements the list published in the first miscellany.
