Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of sumach tanning techniques employed in binding light-colored leathers. It makes a historical case for the superiority of sumach as a tanning substance, one which imparts no color to the hide but instead leaves it white and ready for further dyeing processes. This book traces the evolution of the leather tanning industry from its introduction into England in 1565 to the present day, revealing how the introduction of harmful tanning materials beginning in the late 18th century led to the industry's decline. These harmful tanning agents, primarily sulfuric acid and other mineral acids, were brought into use to increase the speed of tanning, but over time they proved disastrous to the quality of leather and the longevity of book bindings. This book provides insight into the characteristics of various animal skins used in bookbinding and the various strengths and weaknesses of each hide. The author examines the process of making leather, from the very beginning stages of skin preparation and cleaning, through each step of the tanning and dyeing process, to the final finishing stages. This book outlines how the author believes the bookbinding industry can reclaim its former glory by returning to traditional, more labor-intensive tanning methods. The author shares methods of discerning the quality of modern leathers and underscores the importance of respecting the natural lifespan of certain types of bindings rather than attempting to preserve them indefinitely. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332327935_0
