Subject: 17th century stab-sewn English bindings
I am researching the history of seventeenth century English bindings which were stab-stitched through the side with three or five holes. Middleton and Gaskell have provided some information on the history of the stab-stitch bindings as they relate to English book production in the seventeenth century. Can anyone suggest other references which might contain information on the history of these bindings?
