Recently acquired the 1927 issue of the
Allegmeiner Anzeiger für Buchbindereien, the leading trade weekly for bookbinders, in part because it is a nice complement (and contrast) to my 1927 copy of the
Jahrbuch der Einbandkunst published by the
Meister der Einbandkunst. I was also very glad to find numerous articles by
Ernst Collin, to whom this blog is dedicated in it (and will shortly be adding to the growing bibliography of his writings I am compiling).
As with all trade publications, there is lots of advertising, so below a selection that spoke to me today...

In honor of the two comets we will have seen this year,
an ad from a brush factory. |
