ABC OF LEATHER BOOKBINDING:
A Manual for Traditional Craftsmanship

by Edward R. Lhotka
~*`^`*~~*`^`*~~*`^`*~~*`^`*~~*`^`*~

This work is an illustrated manual that shows step-by-step the art
and science of fine leather bookbinding. The author learned the
ancient craft from one of England's foremost binders, Alfred de
Sauty. In this informative work, he takes the reader through the
intricacies of traditional leather binding. Every step is well
illustrated, along with a short, clear explanation. To lessen
confusion for the novice binder, Lhotka concentrates on the
methods that were taught him by de Sauty. Other manuals try to
illustrate multiple methods on binding procedures, thus they
sometimes become confusing to students.

Edward Lhotka began bookbinding in 1924 apprenticed to Alfred
de Sauty. During the next 48 years, Lhotka rose from journeyman
to assistant manager of the fine binding department of the famous
R.R. Donnelley & Sons. As a teacher, he has taught hundreds the
fine art of hand binding after hours at Donnelley�s.
