(Bookbinding) Fogelmark, Staffan FLEMISH AND RELATED PANEL-STAMPED BINDINGS, EVIDENCE AND PRINCIPLES.
New York Bibliographical Society of America 1990 4to. cloth. xviii, 252 pages.
Ever since W. H. James Weale laid the foundations for the scholarly study of panel-stamped bindings in 1894, it has been universally assumed that the stamps were hand-engraved, and thus, that each panel was a unique artifact. However, Fogelmark discovered that virtually everything written since Weale's study has been based on a fundamental mistake. In Fogelmark's search for literature on blind panels, he had not been able to find a single item dealing with the all-important questions of production and technique. Fogelmark believes that one must understand the nature of the panel stamp and the basic rules that guided its use before discussing matters of attribution and iconography. He now presents decisive evidence that panel stamps were cast in metal rather than hand engraved and were often produced in multiple copies for wide distribution. Identical stamps could be used concurrently in different shops, different cities and even different countries. Fogelmark's research is based on many years research in a large number of European libraries and a detailed study of various technical and artistic features of the panels. This is a distinguished and highly original contribution to bookbinding history, which greatly extends knowledge of the late medieval booktrade. An exciting work, handsomely produced at The Stinehour Press.

(Bookbinding) Foot, Mirjam M. BOOKBINDERS AT WORK: THEIR ROLES AND METHODS
London and New Castle The British Library and Oak Knoll Press 2006 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 171 pages.
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.

(Bookbinding) Foot, Mirjam M. (editor) ELOQUENT WITNESSES, BOOKBINDINGS AND THEIR HISTORY
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press, The Bibliographical Society and The British Library 2004 large 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 328 pages.
First edition. This work is a collection of well-written essays that demonstrates the change in direction the study of bookbinding has taken. Much of the work is based on observation of bookbinding techniques and materials, as well as a close study of decorative tools and the ways in which these were used to reflect the styles and fashions of their day.
The place of the binder in the whole network of the book trade is also discussed against the wider cultural and political background in which books, as vehicles that carried ideas forward, are the visible, creditable and eloquent witnesses. This volume of essays is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Phiroze Randeria.
Contributors to the book include Giles Barber, Carmen Blacker, Christian Coppens, Mirjam Foot, David Pearson, Nicholas Pickwoad, Nicholas Poole-Wilson, Esther Potter, Jan Storm van Leeuwen and Marianne Tidcombe. With 101 black-and-white and 8 color plate pages. Co-published with The Bibliographical Society and The British Library.

(Bookbinding) Foot, Mirjam M. THE HENRY DAVIS GIFT: A COLLECTION OF BOOKBINDINGS (VOL. III).
Volume III: A Catalogue of South-European Bindings New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2010 8.5 x 10.75 inches cloth with leather spine label. 528 pages
This much anticipated third and final volume of The Henry Davis Gift focuses on South and East European fine bindings, with additional sections on Oriental and American bindings. It includes many new identifications, and owners and binders are discussed comprehensively. Not only have the decorative features of every binding been described and illustrated, details of structure have also been described, and consequently, it is now possible to compare and contrast bookbinders' practices in the various countries, as evident from this splendid collection of fine bindings.

Although this volume focuses on Southern Europe, it also includes bindings from the Middle East, Mexico, and the United States. Two bindings overlooked in Volume II are also included. Similar to Volume II, this volume has been arranged according to country, and then further organized chronologically. In the introduction, Foot explains how her views and methods have changed, and as a result, she has altered specific descriptions and structural elements. The text also contains two indices: of binders and of owners. This is an invaluable book for all academic libraries, for antiquarian booksellers, for collectors and for all interested in the history of the book.

Mirjam Foot is Professor Emeritus of Library and Archive Studies at University College, London; she was formerly Director of Collections and Preservation at the British Library. Her publications include: The Henry Davis Gift Volumes I & II (1978 & 1983), Eloquent Witness: Bookbindings and their History (Oak Knoll Press, The Bibliographical Society and The British Library 2004), and Bookbinders at Work, their Roles and Methods (Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2006).
