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 overviewof 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 |
