Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves deeply into the deterioration of leather used in bookbinding, a topic which has attracted considerable attention from librarians and book collectors over the years. The author investigates the conditions leading to such decay and the comparative durability of various bookbinding leathers used at different periods. Following a meticulous analysis of samples from numerous libraries, the author concludes that the quality of modern binding leather has declined significantly since the mid-19th century. The book examines the causes of this deterioration, finding fault with modern binding practices and the use of certain tanning methods and materials. It also explores the best conditions for preserving books and offers practical advice on binding techniques. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the preservation and care of books, making it an essential resource for librarians, bookbinders, and anyone interested in the longevity of bound volumes.
