New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2013 6 x 9 inches paperback 140 pages
One of the leading designer bookbinders in Great Britain, Arthur Johnson has used his extensive knowledge of book construction to provide a reference manual for the repair and reconstruction of cloth bindings. Each process is explained in precise detail with clear text in order to give the worker confidence in this exacting skill. Using more than 90 illustrations, drawn by the author himself, Johnson explains his procedures for sound repair that he has developed over many decades. Johnson's ability to instruct and teach bookbinders, conservationists, and students of binding history is exceptional. He has written four other manuals on binding that are considered classics and The Repair of Cloth Bindings is no exception. Included in this work is a brief but comprehensive history of cloth as a binding material from its early use in handwork to complete automation.

Arthur W Johnson A.T.D., N.D.D., C & G L.I. is also a Honorary Fellow of Designer Bookbinders, Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Craft Education and Patron of the A.B.C. Book Society of New Zealand. He has lectured and written articles for book societies throughout the world. He has a degree in Art and diplomas in Bookbinding and Calligraphy.

New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2008 8vo. stiff paper wrappers 102 pages
This volume offers a new edition of Andrea Krupp's groundbreaking article, which first appeared in the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, and includes an expanded Catalogue of Bookcloth Grains, with illustrations in a larger format and, for the first time, in color. Sue Allen has written the preface for the book. Ms. Krupp's three-part essay, with several illustrations, covers the introduction of bookcloth and the early decades of its use, discusses bookcloth grain nomenclature and concludes with detailed observations on several cloth grain patterns. The first of three appendices is an information-dense table that lists each grain pattern with date range and frequency and provides cross references to previous nomenclature. Appendices 2 and 3, which together comprise the Catalogue of Nineteenth-Century Bookcloth Grains, include images of the various grains, reproduced at actual size. In this edition, the number of catalogue entries has been expanded from 222 to 248. The swatches are printed in color, and many of the ribbon-embossed patterns in Appendix 3 are formatted to represent the patterns more completely than when first published. Co-published with the Bibliographical Society of America and The British Library.

See More... Minsky, Richard THE ART OF AMERICAN BOOK COVERS.
New York George Braziller, Inc. 2010 large 8vo cloth, gilt 134 pages
From ornate floral patterns to cityscapes, the boldest book designs of the Golden Age are gathered here. Readers accustomed to todays more utilitarian bindings will find breathtaking images gold leaf patterns intricate enough to replicate the shimmer of feathers, forests rendered in rich color and silver, and elegant allusions to Asian art. The diversity and ingenuity of these books will capture the imagination not only of book lovers and collectors, but also of anyone who enjoys design.

Selecting the most beautifully crafted and influential pieces from his two-volume, limited edition catalog, Minsk uncovers the world behind a lost art. Dividing these breathtaking designs into distinct categories, he discusses the use of silhouettes, pattern, Oriental influence and more. He also reveals key artists, their signature designs and flourishes, the designs they inspired, and the designs that inspired them.

Richard Minsk founded the Center for Book Arts in 1974 and has worked for more than 35 years to draw attention to book art and encourage artists in the field. His work has been shown around the world and remains in public collections, including the National Gallery of Art and The Victoria and Albert Museum. He has received many fellowships, grants and awards of recognition, including several from the National Endowment for the Arts.
