(Plough Press) Wakeman, Geoffrey and Graham Pollard FUNCTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS IN BOOKBINDING.
New Castle, DE and Kidlington, England The Plough Press 1993 8vo. cloth, leather spine label. 96 pages with six tipped-in handmade facsimile samples of cloth bindings and 31 other illustrations in black and white.
Limited to 180 numbered copies of which this is one of the 125 cloth bound copies. Printed by hand by Paul Wakeman, the son of Geoffrey Wakeman, at the Plough Press. Three separate essays which provide a fascinating study of English trade binding from the sixteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century. In "Illustrations of English Trade Bindings of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries," Geoffrey Wakeman describes what an ordinary book of the period looked like. Pollard's essay "Changes in the Style of Bookbinding, 1550-1830" originally appeared in "The Library" in 1956. The third article is again by Wakeman and is entitled "Bookbinding Styles in the Loughborough and Ashby-de-la-Zouch Parish Libraries." This article is based on illustrated slide lectures Wakeman gave while teaching at Loughborough and was meant to demonstrate to students the changes in binding style over the period covered in Pollard's article. These slides are reproduced as plates which are contained in a pocket in the back of the book. Prospectus loosely inserted.

(Thomas, Peter and Donna) Field, Dorothy. MEDITATIONS AT THE EDGE: PAPER AND SPIRIT.
Santa Cruz Peter and Donna Thomas 1996 tall narrow 8vo. cloth. Unpaginated.
Limited to 100 numbered copies. A ground breaking look at the way paper has been used throughout history as a means to connect the spiritual and physical worlds. The author has traveled extensively in Asia, collecting the information and ideas which she has worked into the text. The binding resembles the traditional oriental binding, with the pages folded and stab sewn, and the Thomas' have devised a new way of attaching the cloth covered boards (red for good luck) to the text block so that they open completely flat. The pages are exposed on the spine, with the corners wrapped in gold paper. A raised panel on the front cover is decorated with a Bhutanese paper, embellished with small gold squares, which also are used throughout the text. The book is printed letterpress in red and black from handset type on handmade paper, of hemp fibers for the text, and kozo fiber for the illustrations. These are reproduced from pencil sketches by the artist, and printed so the image also appears in reverse on the back of the paper. A unique and beautiful work of art.

Tomlinson, William. BOOKCLOTH, 1823-1980.
(Stockport, UK Dorothy Tomlinson 1996) 8vo. cloth. xvi, 144, (24), with 19 illustrations and 66 samples.
First edition; made up of the original sheets and samples and placed in a cloth binding similar to the original. The first and arguably the only comprehensive study of the science and history of manufacturing bookcloth. Offers "a study of early use and the rise of manufacture/ Winterbottom's dominance of the trade in Britain and America/ production methods and costs/ and the identification of qualities and designs" (subtitle). Focuses on the development and use of starch-filled bookcloth in particular, from building factories to the formation of the Winterbottom Book Cloth Company in 1891, which dominated the industry for almost a century. Examines the process of producing the various types of bookcloths in the Victoria Mills in Weaste, Salford, enhanced by illustrations of the production machinery such as starch mangles, drying cylinders and spreaders. Lists prices and costs of production. Minutely describes fifty individual qualities of cloth with details of who made them and when they were available. The real treasure of this book is the section at the end containing 36 tipped-in samples of the qualities and 30 examples of designs, which bring the processes and treatments described in the text to life in a way that words alone simply cannot. This volume compels the reader to be "aware of all the processes that cloth goes through, and the potential hazards involved in manufacturing a consistent product in a range of scores of thousands of 'effects' (grains, colours and combinations thereof)...with new eyes and more respect for the people who made them" (Bernard Middleton's Foreword, viii). Includes bibliography and extensive notes and appendices. Color portrait frontispiece of Archibald Winterbottom (1814-1884) and color portrait of George Harold Winterbottom (1860-1934), the founders of the Winterbottom Book Cloth Company (1891-1980). This book was sold for $500 when published; Oak Knoll has recently purchased the remaining copies and can offer them for considerably less.
