5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book, 26 April 2010

By A. H. Firman "Tony the bookie" - Published on Amazon.com

As a professional bookbinder, I found this book absolutely fascinating. It describes in detail just how our modern craft and the tools we use evolved over many centuries. It gave me a great sense of "belonging to history".
