This book not only gives a brief history of bookbinding and its various associated crafts, but it gives us an account of the trade itself within Williamsburg, Virginia during the 18th century. The life and times of Williamsburg's most prominent bookbinders is told in great detail- from materials, tools and methods to shop management. The Bookbinder should be an interesting read for anyone bibliophile or history-lover.
