(Bookbinding) Marks, P.J.M. BEAUTIFUL BOOKBINDINGS: A THOUSAND YEARS OF THE BOOKBINDER'S ART
New Castle & London Oak Knoll Press & The British Library 2011 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 190 pages
As a craft of more than 2,000 years, the art of bookbinding has been overlooked in history. Primarily seen for its practical purpose of protecting the pages of a book, it is sometimes hard to recognize the creative aspects of a bookbinding. Beautiful Bookbindings hopes to bring to light this artistic way of thinking by displaying the finest bookbindings as the objects of desire they were originally intended to be. As the great aesthete Oscar Wilde believed, bookbindings are beautiful and artistic in their own wonder.

Because covering materials are prone to fading and deterioration, relatively few examples of early bookbindings have survived. In more recent times, the number of surviving examples has increased due to deliberate efforts to preserve ornate bindings. Despite the difficulty in preserving bindings, this book pieces together the history of bookbinding, using written sources where necessary to fill the gaps that the bindings themselves do not fill.

From exquisite medieval bookbindings made of precious metals and jewels to the unique and highly imaginative creations of contemporary bookbinders, this book celebrates over 100 of the most beautiful bookbindings of the last 1,000 years. Books bound by some of the greatest bookbinders including Mearne, Padeloup, Payne, Simier, Cobden-Sanderson, and others are showcased, further revealing the beauty and skill of this art form. Spanning over ten centuries, some of the books displayed were once owned by Francis I and Henry II of France, Jean Grolier, Thomas Mahieu, Queen Elizabeth I of England, and William Morris. Fully illustrated in color, with specially commissioned studio photography, Beautiful Bookbindings provides a visual overview of the development of this splendid art form. The book focuses on the craft of hand-bookbinding that existed until the Victorian era when mass-produced trade bindings took over. Bookbinding as a craft form never disappeared, however, and the second half of the twentieth century saw a significant revival. The introduction provides an engaging overview of the history and techniques of the craft and of its most important practitioners. Visually stunning, this book will have a wide appeal to anyone with an interest in visual arts, crafts, and book history.

(Bookbinding) THE MISS MARGARET SIDNEY DAVIES COMPLETE COLLECTION OF SPECIAL GREGYNOG BINDINGS.
Antwerp de Zilverdistel N.V. Rare Books 1995 thick 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. lvi, 627, (3) pages.
The original Gregynog Press produced 42 books under its own imprint. Margaret Sidney Davies (1884-1963), co-founder and -owner of the Press, had a complete set of these books in special bindings mostly designed and/or executed by Gregynog's binder, George Fisher. Entries are extensive and detailed: for ex., no.19, Milton's Comus with engravings by Blair Hughes-Stanton (who in this case also designed the binding), gives title and colophon collation and indicates contents and typography, ornamentation, paper, printing history and information, and discusses the binding in a page-length paragraph; a following 6-page section entitled "background" discusses the coming of B. Hughes-Stanton to Gregynog and the design of the book, concluding with two pages of notes. There are four full-page color illustrations, making in toto an entry of 18 pages. Front matter covers the history of the press, and the catalogue concludes with a census of complete sets of Gregynog special bindings, a bibliography, and index. Interesting as a discussion of Gregynog bindings. The Davies set was actually sold before this catalogue could be printed. Several loosely inserted cards and slips pertaining to Zilverdistel offerings. Endpapers reproduce a photograph of Gregynog Hall.
