Volume I is not only about how to
bind a book, the first part of this text is about developing
an approach to binding. Sewing a blank book or rebinding an
existing one differs from creating a book of text and/or pictures.
Here, binding should not be an afterthought but an integral
part of the statement.
Volume I is an introduction to hand binding:
- Paper, grain, folding, cutting, tearing, marking and piercing
sewing stations are explained.
- Folding down sections for a varying number of pages is
diagrammed, as well as imposition of page numbers.
- Thread, knots
and stitches, and simple tools are covered.
PART 2 of the book gives detailed written instructions for 33 simple to complex
bindings,
(2),
(3),
(4),
(5).
The procedures are also presented as 350 drawings, elaborately diagrammed
step by step. In addition, this is followed by a condensed outline of the
procedures. All sewings require only needle thread and scissors.
PART 3 describes covers, tape supports, interlocking tabs, turns-in
and spine-pleats.
PART 4 contains the references, including a Glossary of Terms,
Notes, Index of Terms and Reference of Photographic Illustrations.
Volume I has 137 photographic reproductions of bindings by 37
contemporary bookbinders.
