On Binding "The fourth is, to retrench & cut off all the superfluous expences, which manv orodieaUv and to no ouroose bestow upon the binding and ornaments of their Books, and to employ it in purchasing such as they want, that so they may not be obnoxious to that * censure of Seneca, who hand-somlv reproaches those, Quibus volumintim suorum frontes maxime placent titulique; & this the rather, that the binding is nothing but an accident & form of appearing, without which (at least so splendid and sumptuous) Books become altogether as useful, commode & rare; it becoming the ignorant onelv to esteem a Book for its cover; seeing it is not with Books, as it is with men, who are onely known and respected for their robes and their clothes, so that it is a great deal better, and more necessary, for example, to have a good quantity of Books, well & ordinarily bound, than to have a little Chamber or Cabinet full of washed, gilded, ruled, and enriched with all manner of nicity, lux and su

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of library bookbinding, a craft essential for preserving and maintaining collections. The author, a librarian himself, guides readers through the history and practice of bookbinding, emphasizing the importance of choosing durable materials and understanding the delicate balance between economy and quality. He explores the different methods of binding, from traditional hand-sewing to the newer machine-driven techniques, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. Beyond the technical aspects, the author also addresses the crucial role of literary knowledge in making sound binding decisions. He encourages librarians to consider the value of a book, its popularity, and its potential for long-term use when deciding whether to rebind or discard it. The author passionately argues against the prevailing practice of rebinding books in materials that will quickly deteriorate, advocating instead for durable options that will stand the test of time. The book offers a unique perspective on the art and science of library bookbinding, revealing its significance not only for preserving the physical integrity of books but also for ensuring their accessibility and longevity within the library's collection. 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 9781440072154_0
