(Papermaking) Winckler, Otto. DER PAPIERKENNER, EIN HANDBUCH UND RATHGEBER FÜR PAPIER-KÄUFER UND VERKÄUFER, TECHNISCHE LEHRANSTALTEN ETC. ZUM PRAKTISCHEN GEBRAUCHE BEARBEITET.
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.

(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.

(Thomas, Peter and Donna) Thomas, Peter THE HISTORY OF PAPERMAKING IN THE PHILIPPINES.
With Illustrations by Donna Thomas Santa Cruz Peter and Donna Thomas 2005 oblong 4to quarter red Moroccan leather (blind stamped with the title) with T'nalak handcloth-covered boards, red cloth-covered slipcase (50 pages)
This book, limited to 75 copies, was designed, handset, letterpress printed and hand bound by Peter and Donna Thomas using paper that they made and featuring eleven samples of paper handmade by Filipinos from indigenous plants. The text, written by Peter, based on nearly twenty years of research, offers the first comprehensive history of the subject. It includes discussions of Philippine precursors to paper (including wooden scrolls and bark cloth), a survey of the first printed books made in the Philippines and the paper they were printed on, descriptions of a number of indigenous papermaking fibers (especially abaca), and a chronological history of both commercial and hand papermaking in the Philippines up to the year 2000. Donna cut the block print illustrations. The Thomases printed the book in three colors on a Vandercrook Universal One press, using 18 point Goudy Modern (and Neuland types for titles). Notes and appendices were set monotype by Rich Hopkins using Pat Taylor's unique English monotype mats. The binding structure was developed by Peter and Donna to accomodate the special requirements of this book: the short and long pages create space for the paper samples, which are sewn in place so that they can move with changes in humidity. Each book is quarter bound with a red leather spine and boards covered with T'nalak (a Philippine ikat dyed fabric, made with spun abaca fiber, woven on a backstrap loom) and is housed in a red cloth-covered slipcase with the title and an inscription on the front.
