Can you recommend any good books on bookbinding? I asked the

I made the mistake of asking the reference lady at the local
library (while I was there) instead of sitting down and checking
the index myself. She came up with nothing (a 3 page in-house
book repair sheet which she printed out for me), I found THIRTY
FREAKIN' SIX books on the subject in the index and just ordered
8 to scan or peruse.


Well, for what it is worth, one of MY favorite books
on the subject is Edith Diehl's "Bookbinding, Its Background and
Technique". It is available from Dover Books for not TOO much
money, and, is a pretty useful and comprehensive text. Kind
of dense...but...a LOT of info.

Thanks. I usually try the library first, then buy if the book is a
"keeper." Ebay has been really good for cheap prices on books
lately.
