Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of Bookbinding The chier part of the present book was written as an Introduction to the Catalogue of the Exhibition of Bind ings, held at the Burlington Fine Arts Club in the Summer of 1891. In consequence of the growing interest in Binding it has been thought that an enlarged reprint of the Intro duction might be useful to students, since information on the subject is only to be found scattered up and down expensive illustrated works, most of which are no longer obtainable.
