This book not only describes in detail the making of the various kinds of Siamese paper from the bark of the khoi tree ... but also the journey from Singapore to Bangkok through the rubber plantations and jungles of the Malay peninsula." Contains a specimen of khoi bark and Siamese mould cloth, three additional full-page specimens of Siamese paper, as well as photogravures. Bound in quarter-black morocco with vellum tips and paper boards with a continuous design of Buddhas in black, red, and gold. Light wear to extremities, else a fine copy of this lavishly produced and beautiful book. The scarcest of all of Hunter's papermaking books. Small scratch to leather on upper board, with some foxing to frontispiece and some off-setting to page with mounted specimens. From the library of Babette and Herberrt Clayburgh with their bookplate on front pastedown (which has foxed the facing free endpaper). Prospectus loosely inserted. Overall a beautiful copy.

(Papermaking) Premchand, Neeta OFF THE DECKLE EDGE, A PAPERMAKING JOURNEY THROUGH INDIA
Bombay The Ankur Project 1995 square 8vo. paper-covered boards, dust jacket. 127+(1) pages with 7 bound-in full-page specimens and 107 color photographs.
First edition. The industrialization of papermaking has obscured the traditional ways through which handmade paper is produced. However, Off the Deckle Edge reminds us of the longstanding history of papermaking along with the visual and sensual qualities handmade paper possesses. Premchand marries seven bound-in full-page paper specimens with 107 colorful and exotic photographs in a modernly produced book with beautiful accounts of the people and culture of India.
The papermaking portion of this book describes the processes, raw materials, vocabulary and equipment relevant to India. Premchand also explores the history of papermaking through her travels to London's British Library and her excursions to China, Japan and India in the footsteps of Dard Hunter. However, this book is not only a walk through the craft itself and its history in India but a very intimate journey among the people, culture and customs of these regions.
Premchand keeps a vivid prose-like diary as she walks among the towns and villages of Kalpi, Sanganer, Junnar, Aurangaband, Wardha, Pune, Ahmedabad and Pondicherry. While on a tour in Kalpi, she experienced her research coming to life when she discovered that Munnalal Khaddari, the author of a rare 1928 book on papermaking, was still alive though in his nineties at the time.
For Premchand and those who enjoy, practice and revere the craft of papermaking, the trip of discovery never ends. Off the Deckle Edge also contains a bibliography, a glossary and a touching dedication to Khaddari who encouraged Premchand to produce this book but passed away soon after their meeting.

Leipzig Th. Grieben's Verlag (L. Fernau) 1887 large 8vo. later half calf with patterned cloth covered boards, five raised bands, leather spine label, all edges stained red. viii, 280 pages.
First edition. Dedication to Hermann Gmeiner-Benndorf "president of the German Paper Association." Late 19th-century German papermaking. A book on the composition, manufacturing, processing, classification and testing of paper, the paper trade, and the machinery used in the paper industry. Well-organized in nine main sections with 145 short, numbered chapters, followed by an index and 36 paper samples (lacking in this copy). Each chapter has subject headings in the margins. The book is meant to be a guide to the intelligent selection of papers for various uses, and as an overview of paper-testing (which also assists paper-users in understanding the resulting paper specifications). There are 127 illustrations, mostly of machinery, but also of processes and materials (drawings of the microscopic components of paper). The section on the paper market includes many statistics. Otto Winckler directed a "facility for paper-testing" (preface), which may have been the facility established by the German government for that purpose near Berlin in 1886; however, he signs the preface "Leipzig." Minor rubbing of covers.
