Synopsis
Bernard Middleton has been practising as a bookbinder, and writing about the history and craft of bookbinding, for more than 60 years. During the course of his career, as well as many other major commissions, he has produced an impressive number of gold-tooled design bindings of great elegance. In this volume, a revised and expanded version of the memoir published in 1994 in a fine press edition by Bird & Bull Press, he writes about his life as a bookbinder, and many of his bindings are reproduced in colour.

First Edition. 18.5 cm (wide) x 26.2 cm (high). XII, 126 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Includes for example: 'General Eisenhower's D-Day Declaration', 'London School of Printing Class Report', 'Article "The British Museum Bindery" 1953' etc. Bernard Chester Middleton MBE (29 October 1924 28 January 2019) was a preeminent British restoration bookbinder. He was regarded as one of the foremost book craftsmen and trade historians of modern times, lecturing and teaching in Europe (Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands) and the Americas (Brazil, the United States, and Venezuela). He authored two major works, A History of English Craft Bookbinding Technique (1963) and The Restoration of Leather Bindings (1972), which became essential reading for professional bookbinders, scholars and collectors. In the trade, he was known as "The Great Man". He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1951 and, in 1986, was awarded an MBE for services to bookbinding. His gold-tooled bindings may be seen in the British Library, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Royal Library, Windsor, and the Wormsley Library, and in other major libraries worldwide. (Wikipedia).

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
