About Arts Lecture - A Brief History of Bookbinding by Caroline Bendix
Most people can name a painter, sculptor or furniture maker but few can name a bookbinder. Yet binding may have the same level of craftsmanship as any painting, ceramic or textile. This lecture provides an overview of Western bookbinging including structure, the materials used and their manufacture.
