S-K 1415. First editions. (Brenni 527 and 775). This landmark catalogue of Schiff's private collection of 413 SIGNED bindings contains information that had appeared in no other sources. For the binders whose work is described, not only are the bindings illustrated, but also doublures and inner dentelles and binder's stamps and binder's tickets are shown. The period covered extends from the beginning of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. Schiff's books were sold at auction in 1938 with disastrous results - the times were not right for such a sale. Corners bumped and a little scuffed.

The first volume covers the bindings executed by him over the period 1884-1893 and before the establishment of the Doves Bindery. The second volume is a chronicle of the binding shop he founded in 1893 and the famous bindings it produced over a 30 year period. In its early years the bindery shared premises with William Morris's Kelmscott Press. The consequent collaboration resulted in a series of richly-decorated copies of the Kelmscott Chaucer. Later on the majority of the bindery's work was for the Doves Press, which Cobden-Sanderson founded with Emery Walker in 1900. Dr. Tidcombe's comprehensive work includes a complete catalogue of the books produced with many bindings illustrated in color. Bound by one of England's most famous contemporary binders.
