Description
The role of the bookbinder and the significance of the binding have often been disregarded by bibliographers. The author sets out to reverse the trend, by establishing working binders, their materials and tools, as an essential part of the production cycle. She reveals the inadequacy of bibliographical descriptions that lack binding information.
