Recently acquired a charming new binding manual for bibliophilic amateurs,
Zelf Boekbinden by Elisabeth Menalda. The book was published in Amsterdam (NL) in 1934 and includes an overview of the basic tools and equipment; preparations and sewing;
forwarding; completing a quarter of full cloth/paper in-boards binding.

Conceptually similar in scope and audience is
Ernst Collin's Buchbinderei für den Hausbedarf
reprinted and republished in several editions between 1915 and 1933.
I think the two images above go together nicely |
