Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 22 cm, vi, 218 pp, ills. From the introduction: "Each of the world's leading designer bookbinders has been offered a double-page spread to publish a curriculum vitae, an aesthetic statement, a self-portrait with a selection of representative bindings, and a full-out masterwork illustrated and described in detail. Since the scope is global, intriguing comparisons can be made between the various generations, schools, ideologies and nationalities, also demonstrating the temperamental divide between binders whose fantasy ranges beyond the printed work, and those who maintain deference to the original text and illustrations." Fine.
