  (Bookbinding) Spawn, Willman and Thomas E. Kinsella AMERICAN SIGNED BINDINGS THROUGH 1876
New Castle and Bryn Mawr Oak Knoll Press & Bryn Mawr College Library 2007 4to. cloth 300 pages
First edition. In this the first major study of American signed bookbindings, Willman Spawn and Thomas E. Kinsella describe and illustrate 315 bookbinder's tickets, stamps, and engraved designations dating from the 1750s through 1876. The details of the study reveal a vibrant segment of the book trade, deeply enmeshed with the related trades of booksellers, stationers and publishers. Two hundred and thirty-three binders are represented, many with multiple designations. Locations of binders cluster up and down the east coast from Maine to Virginia, with tickets as far south as New Orleans and as far west as Little Rock. The study identifies binders from 19 states and 84 cities and towns. Brief descriptions of bindings are provided, along with explanatory notes for many binders, especially in the binding centers of Boston, New York and Philadelphia. The strength of the study is in its attention to nineteenth-century trade binders such as Benjamin Bradley and Peter Low of Boston, George W. Alexander and Colton & Jenkins of New York, and Benjamin Gaskill and Joseph T. Altemus of Philadelphia.

Spawn, a retired conservator at the American Philosophical Society, has written numerous articles on early American bookbinding. Since 1985 he has served as honorary Curator of Bookbindings at Bryn Mawr College where he has helped to build the splendid collection of signed bindings described here. Kinsella is the Associate Professor of British Literature at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. He has written on Samuel Johnson and James Boswell, among other subjects, and, for the past 20 years, has collaborated with Spawn researching the history of bookbinding.

The volume has two introductory essays and is well-indexed. Co-published with Bryn Mawr College Library.

  (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.
