Reviews

"Mr. Brenni has done a great service to those who study binding and printing, providing sources for extensive reading. ... Book Printing includes 1021 entries, not all the publications on this subject by any means, but a carefully-balanced selection of some of the best, most informative works. A list of printers, typographers, calligraphers and book designers also provides useful information. ... [This bibliography is] well-organized, extensive and informative and would make [a] useful addition to a book arts library."-Book Arts Review
In this bibliography, bookbinding comprises anything that covers the pages of a codex book or the form of the book most familiar to us. It begins with reference works and continues with such topics as bookbinding design, materials, machines, and tools, decoration, a chronological history, history by individual countries, care and repair of bindings. Checklists of titles are included for libraries that may wish to improve their collection. An alphabetical list of some 550 binders, art designers, and decorators provides brief biographical information and augments those names in the bibliography itself.-Journal of Academic Librarianship
