  (Bookbinding) Tidcombe, Marianne (editor) TWENTY-FIVE GOLD-TOOLED BOOKBINDINGS. AN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE TO BERNARD C. MIDDLETON'S RECOLLECTIONS.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 1997 8vo. stiff paper wrappers 76 pages.
Paperback edition. Includes an Introduction and Preface by Dr. Marianne Tidcombe and an essay on "The Use of Gold in Bookbinding" by Bernard C. Middleton. Fine bookbinding and gold-tooling enthusiasts will enjoy this exhibition catalogue of designer bindings honoring respected craftsman and noted bookbinding historian, Bernard C. Middleton. Each of the 25 gold-tooled contemporary bindings executed by some of the world's most talented bookbinders focus on Middleton's memoirs, Recollections, recently produced by the venerable Henry Morris at his Bird & Bull Press. The catalogue includes a short, one-page biography and photograph of each binder, and, on the facing page, a photograph of the binding and a description of the binding is included. The very words "gold-tooled bindings" bring to mind beauty, brilliance, and luxury. Gold-tooling is one of the most visible and striking of all the traditional techniques, but it has been less evident with each passing decade. This occasion gave binders the opportunity to show what they were still capable of. While enjoying the beauty of the bindings in this collection and reflecting on the skilled craftsmanship that has gone into making them, one soon regrets that this kind of work is such a rarity. By the end of the twentieth century, the number of hand-binders who regularly produced gold-tooled bindings had dwindled dramatically from even only 25 years earlier. This exhibition, which travelled from The British Library to the Rochester Institute of Technology and the San Francisco Library in the first half of 1997, and this catalogue, as a tribute to Bernard Middleton, will be successful if it encourages hand-binders to use more gold-tooling and lettering on their bindings and if it demonstrates to collectors and connoisseurs of fine bindings that beautiful gold-tool bindings will continue if there is a demand for them.

With a prefatory note by Charles W. Forward and Thomas E. Powell explaining the history of this labor dispute. Workers in the binding industry had demanded better conditions and higher wages in 1902. This eventually led to a notice of a lock-out of all workers in the trade by the employers. Both parties agreed to arbitration which took place over a seven day period in 1903. Twenty years of statistics and history were presented at this hearing and these facts are given in this lengthy book. The final eight pages of the book summarize Stewart's findings. Contains a wealth of information about the English binding trade. From the reference library of the Zaehnsdorf Company with a commemorative book label loosely inserted. With the bookplate of the Zaehnsdorf Company. Covers faded in places with rubbing along edges.
