 Bookbinding Materials and Techniques 1700-1920
By Margaret Lock (Toronto, 2003).
160pp., illustrated by 122 b&w photographs and diagrams
This book is a revised and expanded version of Two Centuries of Bookbinding: Materials
and Techniques 1700-1900, published by CBBAG in 1991. At
160 pages and with 122 black and white illustrations, the new book is more than twice as long as the previous
edition. The bindings reproduced include Canadian as well as European and American examples. Most of the
photographs were taken by Margaret Lock, Diana Patterson, and Brian F. Summers. The diagrams were drawn by
Sophie Nicol. The book was designed by Roy Nicol, and printed at Coach House Printing, Toronto.
The book describes each step in hand binding a book, and explains the practical and
aesthetic considerations that influenced these techniques. It then shows how all of these processes changed
over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries due to mechanization, specialization within the trade, the
vagaries of taste, the availability and cost of materials, and developments in printing, publishing, and book
selling. Bookbinders, book collectors, and all those who are interested in the book as a physical object will
enjoy this book.
