Nouveau manuel complet du relieur

This volume deals mainly with the art of bookbinding, but the authors have deemed it useful to add a description of the arts related to it so intimately that no bookbinder wishing to know his trade thoroughly can ignore it.

The reader, whether professional, amateur, or simply curious, will find in a first part the description of all the stages of stitching then in the second much more important, the binding itself.

All its aspects are approached and described there as the materials used by the binder, the binder's workshop, the operations of the binder, the rooting and the mottling of the cover, the marbling on edge, the gilding and the embossing, the mechanical binding , etc.

This work is the reissue

Lenormand published in 1907 in Paris by the Roret encyclopedic bookshop under the title: New complete manual of bookbinders of all kinds containing the arts of assembler, saterer, stapler, trimmer, cartoner, slice marbler and gilt on edges and on leather by Séb. Lenormand.
