Students, teachers, fine arts professionals, crafts aficionados, art historians, restorers, and bibliophiles: the list of people who will appreciate the beauty of this extraordinary summary of bookbinding techniques is endless. Written by a professor of bookbinding at the Escola d'Arts i Oficis in Barcelona, it provides a precise, systematic, and fully illustrated approach to the craft.
