PRESS NOTICES
“An excellent book opens ‘The Artistic Crafts Series of Technical Handbooks.’”—Times.
“It would be hard to find any technical book of this kind which gives more importance to considerations of good taste than this. . . . It leaves no part of its subject unaccounted for, and is in its own printing, binding, and illustration, a favourable example of good craftsmanship. Valuable in itself, it promises well for the series which it opens.”—Scotsman.
“A special word of praise must be bestowed upon the illustrations.”— Athenæum.
“The first of a new series of technical handbooks, and an admirable work it is.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“In a manner lucid and practical the whole process of bookbinding is set forth, the matter being enhanced in usefulness by the drawings for which Mr. Noel Rooke is responsible. Altogether the volume gives the greatest promise for the success of the series.”—Newcastle Daily Journal.
“Workers of all degrees will find the book well worth acquisition alike from its valuable material and as inciting to a high standard of workmanship.”—The British Printer.
“Bookbinders and librarians will find much to interest them in this lucid, well-illustrated, and valuable little treatise.”—The Studio.
